You

Feather light kisses on my shoulder,

arm around my waist, whispering your adoration,

sharing each other's space.

Your scent evades my senses,

oh euphoric high,

my heart climbs to unknown places 

far within me lies.

Don't touch me, I may surrender

open my dark abyss.

Releasing all the anguish and every tear I thought I missed.

Threatening my composure seeking my demise

Why do you want to break me?

My fragility I disguised.

Gallantry my façade, oh beautiful the mask

your warmth its destruction

exposing me at last.

"Handle with care", I've heard them say

Be careful how you tread, all but an empty vessel

you have nothing more to spend.
