Safe and Connected

by poetreearborist

Seems you can turn off or tune out

I’m begging for you to want to know me

And you appear distracted or uninterested in my complexity

I’ve taken a lover, once or twice, who can match or best me in intensity

But then balance tips to drama and harmony disappears

So with you I tone it down, but it feels like stopping up a gushing well

I just long for you to look into my eyes and search for my soul – beyond personality -

Then wrap me in your arms and say, I understand

That’s how I feel safe
