The Story of Us

unsure, tentative
opened sweetly by slow hand
gentle, masculine

passion unknowing
intimately held secrets
bodies gripped closer

undecided, split
brain over body debate
winner now unknown

worries subsided
determined unspoken trust
honesty prevails

lust too prevalent
words given power through action
future given hope

soul damaged broken
seeking foul weather shelter
grasping desperately

kindness held too high
a carrot before an ass
to attempt is hope

sustenance brought close
feeding a hungry thirsty heart
what cost does this bring

insecurity
brought to the table unwilled
can not retract truth

harsh truth realized now
healing hearts better for it
a new day is here
