Vulnerability is a Bitch

by Christel Crews

No phone to communicate my thoughts
so pen to paper I revert
To clear the revolving cyclone
out of my conscious state

YOU SCARE ME

Untapped potential in your every step
Unseen by your perfectionist standards
When the veil lifts, will I ever be
able to keep up with you

YOU SCARE ME

With those piercing eyes
that keep the outside world at bay
I can not invade
my intuition fails
removing any false sense of control

YOU SCARE ME

Living in your unbalanced state
while I tip-toe my vulnerability
across the lurking shadows of your past

YOU SCARE ME

And yet
When you're there
I feel safe

Sounds like the way my wife sees me! Nicely done!
