take back your mink

sweating 

i toss and turn

giving you more power

dreaming of what you might say

placing the totality in your hands

instead of his

aching to hear you say 

yes i want you

yes let's do this

yes, i'm scared but 

yes.

and knowing that the answer could simply be

no

now it feels old

impatient

non trusting me takes over

and I begin to hear the drum beat

a battle is being waged

over my heart once again

over yours

over ours, not necessary how it sounds

protectional hedges are formed

defensive tactical moves are put into action

steel is hammered out 

and horses prepared 

the epic continuation of a age old war

LOVE

v
FEAR
