In the end all you can ever do
Is depend on yourself
And believe in You.
Every once in a while you'll let someone in
And they will add to you, teach you,
grow you inside and out.
But you need to know when to let go
And what to hold on to
When to give and what to take,
The delicate balance of exchange.
It's not a given, its not a right,
Its a thing to be cherished,
fought for, sought out.
Its something to be earned,
Time and again
The constant choice to submit
Should be met with an equal choice
Day in and day out
To help one another shine and grow.
With my surrender comes the weight of all I am
To be carried on your shoulders
My freedom becomes your chains
To wrap and bind me to you
If I give you all of me, you need to earn it every day, with every action, word and gesture.
Time after time after time again.
........
There is a difference between a want and a need
Its like the difference between air and the wind
It's in the way you touch my hand
The gasp when you pull me close
Not knowing what or when,
As you decide how to make me beg
As you drive me to the brink of reason
And make me crash apart like waves on land
The world dissolves around us
There is nothing left, only you
Breath, fire, passion, need
Blood rushing through bodies
As our primal need
To control, to contain
To be taken and claimed
The rush, to let go, to give in to push harder
Driven so deeply, to another place
Where I can finally be free in abandonment
To come undone as never before
In a glorious dance of letting go
