Love...
Why is it here
Burning in my heart
Occupying my thoughts
Dreaming of you
With no reason
With no logic
No justification
No way to explain
Why
Why I love you
And is it the fear of rejection
Or the fear of acceptance
That I don't shout out your name
Bare my naked heart to your gaze
Am I always to play the fool
The coward
Hiding
Whispering
Never brave enough to dare
To tell the truth
To simple say
. . .
Would it be unfair
Would this burden lifted
Would my naked heart
Be unwelcome weight
If I were brave enough to set out to sea
Would this storm
Bring troubled tides to your shores
If I shouted out
My hidden truth
Three words into the crashing waves
. . .
Would it be
Love that I heard
Or the sound
Of hearts
Breaking
