One-sided Love?

A love unbeknownst to the young girl who knows not what love is.

He's dug his vines in on the walls around her heart;

has crept into her only sanctuary.

Yet she feels she has let him in,

even in her own reluctance.

She's afraid to love, to give her passion.

Afraid to lose herself,

afraid he will take all she is.

It deters her from her thoughts

but reels her back in

just in time.

His vines are hard to be rid of

to let rot,

even if she shed no rain or light.

Yet he needs no light

nor rain.

Just her every heartbeat,

his intention never to let go.
