Vulnerable

vulnerable
1. capable of being physically or emotionally wounded or hurt
2. open to temptation, persuasion, censure

That about sums it up.

I hate that I am so vulnerable to you
I love that I am so vulnerable to you

I let you see that tiny fissure in my heart nearly ten years ago.
You've split it like an axe through dry Oak.
leaving me exposed,
my rings laid out in front of you.
And now here I lie...
waiting to be burned.

I hate that my body only reacts to thoughts of you,
that you are it's keeper,
my puppeteer,
making me beg,
making me dance...
and when you lay the stings down I collapse in a heap.

I love when you play with me,
control me
and leave me wanting.

I hate that you are my last thought of the day
and the first before I even open my eyes
Have I even crossed your mind?

I love meeting you in my dreams
playing all night
and waking up wet

I hate that you know all you'd have to do is say "GO"
and I'd walk away from everything I know
just to have my chance with you.

But I love thinking that someday maybe I will.
