Only been a week, but there you are,
Managed to find a way inside me.
Past every wall carefully built,
Although I push you away hard.
You always push back harder,
Saying all the right things,
In a different way than everyone,
And, gently try to coax me out.
”I want to be close to you…”
I hear it whisper over and over,
It’s the prayer before I go to bed.
It echoes in my heart and rings,
And, I find myself smiling, drifting.
”I’m not going anywhere…”
The morning song I hear,
Opening my eyes every dawn.
My heart doesn’t echo like a death toll,
It’s starting to breathe again.
Hiding all of my deepest feelings,
Thinking you are far out of my reach.
Then the phone call tonight left me gasping,
The question posed at the end.
”I really like you, Diana, tell me where you want to go with this.”
My soft hesitant reply, soft goodnights,
And, I hung up staring at the screen.
Thinking to myself that I don’t need,
The time to think about this.
I just am scared to say it,
Scared you’ll want to turn away,
Let go and run away from this,
And, everything you’ve done.
Accomplished far more than others,
You’re in my heart, don’t you realize?
I’m just keeping you blinded for now,
Happily oblivious if you will.
And, as for your question posed.
I really….like you too,
And, as far as where I want it to go?
As far as you’ll let me.
I want you to keep fighting your way in,
And, open me up to trusting you,
I want you to be my days and nights,
I want you to
”take me all the way…..”
Submission Name: Take Me All The Way
hehe 'happily oblivious' is that your way of saying comfortably numb?
