Let me hide, love

Let me hide from the world a little longer, love

Let me hide a little more

Because this heart it grows sensitive, love

Over time it tenders itself to others

A raw lover, fragile yet yielding

Feeling so much yet guards

So little

Like a lost cause with a growing crack down my middle

So watch out, love

I might fall apart from the impact

Of a world that comes to me a bit too brash

A bit too loud and a dash too much 

It’s a recipe for another’s life love rush 

And yet for my little heart 

I am startled by this speed

Looks like a crash course

Asking to be derailed

And this would tear my middle apart 

Right at the crack centred

My heart

So, love

Will you give me some space to take slow pace 

I’m a paced love-maker but I take my sweet time

And sweet I am, though I seem quite shy

My little pulsing heart might hide a little longer than most, love

But it doesn’t mean she isn’t there

Glowing behind meek smiles and seeping out 

This central growing

Fracture

It’s just

Once she appears there’s no going back

I don’t love like others love, love

This raw sensitive heart holds nothing away

When she feels all she feels

She feels she might stay 

Impact impending she fears no ending when she

Loses track 

So let me hide a little longer, love

If I venture out now 

I might never come back
