Whole

An old hurt
It lingers
Dies slowly
So lowly
It’s gifts 
Says I’m wrong
Still I’m gone
No return
A slow burn
My heart spurned
Easier to
Reject you
Keep my truth
Save part of my soul
Keep tiny this hole
Say we’re through
Saran wrapped
Heart whole
Never trapped
Always blue
Dare I risk
Let you in
Zero trust
Try again
I want so much
To open up
Tell me how
To begin
Give of your self
Fully to me
So I am free
My time of need
Important you
Will always be
Understand
Who I am
And who I
Know I can
Be
Please
Like
Me
