Mental Screws

Mental Screws

A Poem by Poetry Pig
"

No matter how many built up mental barriers you may have, there is always that one person (or several) that will tear them down.

"
I know my past with women isn't something I like to mention
There's a lot that I leave out in the final image
But once you've got my attention, I will begin to listen
Hearing that beautiful noise, that soft calming voice
Makes me regret my decision
To not trust you, making you feel as if you always lose
Because I'm afraid the screws in my head will come loose
Holding up the barricade I've made
Leaving me vulnerable to the hurt I'm used too
But my honest intention, the truth
I just want to hold your hand
Lay beside you, looking at the stars and the moon
Listening to any rant you may have
To try and help you, even if there isn't anything I can do
To be your biggest fan
And stand by your side, to support whatever you may choose
I'm not perfect, I've made mistakes
But I've learned from them, and I'm willing to do what it takes
A chance to be with you, I'd go any distance
No amount of cuts, bruises, or scrapes
Will stop me till I finish
This time fear won't get in my way
That's a promise I'm willing to make
And I can feel them, the screws
They are rattling loose...
