Release
I’ve kept myself to myself
Wrapped my arms around my thoughts
Held determined passions intact
I’ve found my own solutions
To vexations and complications
Shouldered the necessary and unasked for
I’ve battled changes, tides and winds
Determined to level me flat
And stayed afloat yet drifting
Until you found me swaying
To the music as a solo dancer
Without a partner to lead me on
You folded me into your arms
Grazed my neck with satin lips
Our feet matching step for step
A sudden release of emotions
Seared my fragmented soul
Leaving me breathlessly weakened
No longer needing to self-protect
Nor scramble to cover or hide
The imperfect pieces of who I am
Your smiling eyes and soothing touch
Reinforce reasons to trust and share
Past mistakes and future dreams
