Insecurity steps in and
closes my door with
a chill wind bringing a shiver
to my wondering instability
the way she’s looking at me
unsure with a half-smile
In those sad eyes I can see
too many disappointments
have splintered a heart she wears
on a damp sleeve; I fear its
left her seeking without
clarity nor direction…she feels
she continues to lose
her precious pieces of love
stolen to the whims of fate
I smile before her hesitation
offering tender assurances
Her brow smoothes slowly
replaced with a look of
hope and maybe, dancing
in tearing eyes of fading doubt
She accepts my openhanded
timid caresses, cheek pecks
and pleading promises
It’ll take time we
both understand…
Her baby browns ask
Simply and sweetly…Just
love me*
