Cracked wide open
Taking a chance
Insides bared
Terrified and
Vulnerable
And you are there
Next to me
Holding me
Open
In your own way
I feel safe
The dam bursts
my mouth starts
Talking
and talking
and talking
please stop talking
and talking
and...
Finally
I stop
Control the anxiety
Face wet
Was it too much?
My eyes leak
Am I too much?
Then
Morning
At last
Restless night over
Uncertain and nervous
You are still here
You are still holding me
You hold me tighter
For a moment
I can breathe
