A MOMENT OF ME

 

You feel safe, but are you safe?

There is something I need to know 

Can I be myself around you?

Will you love the broken parts of me?

I am not broken, but I have some broken parts.

Will you be able to understand my silence?

The parts of me I do not love will you love them?

The grumpy, moody me will you accept her?

My insecurities will you hold them against me?

If I share my secrets with you, do you promise not to judge me?

I do not need a savior; I need a friend.

When I am at my lowest, will you just sit in silence with me?

You feel safe, but are you safe?

The heart is fragile, and it can be easily bruised.

I will not trust you with my heart, but for now, I do.

You are not my forever, but for now dance with me,

Laugh with me, cry with me, until it is time to part ways.

I can only give you a moment of me, not all of me.

The End.
