To Be Yours

A want to resist what might make us feel but a need that conquers the fear of the cost of feeling.

I was okay until tonight you left me feeling
Forgot to take your scent that now lingers in this room
And the trails of heat your hands burned across my skin
You were suppose to love me and leave me

Instead

Chased the loneliness away awakening an ache
Told you to stay away but you were cut by the shattered pieces
Eyes that searched mine too deeply and hands held a bit tightly
Somewhere my heart began to beat

Still

Try to resist that which was buried but you've blurred the past
Patiently driving the pain out finding beauty amongst scars
What is this need that draws me closer and beckons?
A day without shadows and a night no longer cold

Yet

I cannot see what you see past this hollowed shell
Nor understand why I want my today's and tomorrow's
To be yours

I appreciate honesty and constructive criticism. I have never shared any of my poetry, so finally from the privacy of my notebooks... My first entry.

You did very well describing thoughts and fear.

It is hard to open doors that could make us bleed and hurt. I like the hope and willingness to know peace and love. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you, Coyote. Throughout life we must learn to face what may potentially hurt us, in order to experience what in fact could heal us. Thank you for your review. :)
