Torn

Truth and lies, give and take
Two sides to all in love and hate
With good and bad both in one heart
Struggle between them tearing it apart

Taking great care to give and please
Stumbling and falling... failing with ease
So much love inside desiring to live
Fearing so much to trust and give

I want, I need, to escape my fear
It is you I ask for help, you I endear
No boundaries cannot be struck down... undone
If we truly love each other and are as one

Having little to offer you but my thoughts
My fears and jealousy of things real and not
I will push them aside with all my heart and grace
For you who love me, if I have your embrace

Dedication to you I vow and swear
Hiding no more, my true feelings and cares
You mean more to me than I have ability to show
I leave it up to you where we now will go
