Silently Fragile

If beauty crept slowly across my leg
Would it still please you, would I still be
A vision inspiring to wonder and amaze
Or would you leave quickly my side and my speed.

I wonder, still fragile, still awkward and new,
Would you still love me if only you knew,
That I have been beaten and I have been slapped

With fiery fierce words and one awful fist; and
Would you still love me if only you saw the
Scars of my past that locked me away.
Ive seen such great horror and evil and truth…

Reality and show you Ive lived in the zoo…
I wonder dear one if you could see through the
Tears in my heart, would you still embark,
On this my lifes journey, My destiny enfolds.
I now walk with caution and do as I will, surrounded
By only the things that I love, so tell me I pray
Would you love me one day…
When lightning it crashes and naked I walk
Up to your door and knock ever soft
A plea to your heart to let just me in and
Hold you till dark when we fade within the walls of new life.
Ill ask silently, you may not to hear, but
Ask you I will and speak love to dear, but my shoulders
Still feel oh so heavy and I
Do not have a savior though Ill save you I fear.
And cry once a tear still heavy within
For you are angelic and my kindred year.
My words they read beauty inside your dark eyes,
And I wish to live there the rest of my life.
