What is this?

You're playing with my heart.

Where do I start.

you say you desire me,

yet, right now it can't be.

You're caught up in your own pain

unable to let go of it's reigns.

You're tethered to toxicity

that yearns for you to be free.

Your heart is buried

under layers of junk.

I've glimpsed it appear 

then boom, it's sunk.

Sunk deep inside

hiding away

whilst little b 

longs to play.

When interacting with me

He appears with glee

His heart open, ready. 

He reaches up

with an overflowing cup

He shows you how to hold me in a nurturing embrace,

with tender, loving, warm grace.

You merge and your presence enfolds my body

creating this soothing, silent melody.

A melody that takes all of me far away

to a place of safety, where all is okay.

Where we dance and breathe easily

with rice crispies and muesli.

My hands long to stroke your cheeks

to touch, to know you 

for so many weeks

What is this? Desire? bliss?

Is it true? What do I do?

All I know is the way I feel 

With you, my heart dances, I trust, it's real.

Come to me my child

Let us explore

Let us unite

Let us open the door.
