Broken

Your confidence bridges

my hesitant mind.

Loving eyes that tug me

down a summer’s slide.

Your kindness surrounds

every broken thought.

You are a trueness that writes

from a poet’s house.

But I shake-

As your wanting arms

wrap around me dearly.

I shake-

For the day you will leave

my long dreamt inadequacies.

For that day

you must leave,

my eyes

pleading

you cannot stay.
