Poem: Letting Someone In

You protect your soul in cotton wool wrapping it up tight, intangible to the outside like a caterpillars’ carefully woven cocoon. Each misfortune and betrayal pulling its seams tighter, allowing no room for another. If you were to unravel each piece; carefully untying each insecurity to allow room for us both to breathe, would my vulnerabilities be open for all to see? In my dreams, I’m drowning, is this goodbye? I wake up, wanting to hear you call me. Your gentle smile, gregarious grace, winding me in with each devoted kiss deposited delicately on my neck. I’m in the deep end, will my Independence blossom? Where will I go if I get water in my eyes? Will I able to breath on my own? The stamina and strength within me, will It be dismantled? Help me overcome my mind to a happy ending. The unknown, your unfathomable fate. You dream about being loved but disallow its special ability. When will you let someone in? Your heart yearns to know, screaming out in vain. Once upon a time a fairytale that always seemed unattainable. Courage see me through one step at a time to find my future, my heart needs to know. Will it bring me home? Your not the one I expected, the speed of its development out of my control. Do I grasp it? Accepting the organic fate I have been handed. My heart will chose to say what’s right, I need to listen. Life gives and takes away, grasp your gift and don’t turn away. I opened my door when the rain was pouring and waited for the sun to rise. I pray you won’t let me down because you found me when I was broken and saved me. I let you in. Breaking the barriers of my cocoon. Spreading my wings to fly.
