Vulnerable

Vulnerable

Fallen like the leaf weakened by the wind

Down it lays waiting… no fate, no mate, just too late!

And time, blowing off like the wind,

I was weakened, jolted and shrouded by the wind

Hence your love, upon my heart, you soared…

You and I, beaten by the circumstances only faith changes 

We’ve been down but alive, drowned yet arrived

Scotched by the heat of trust… still we thrust

I am fallen, taken away so fast and it’s rapid,

Easily you swim this love around me and I’m stupid

Foolish, vulnerable and stricken, heart pierced like cupid

Like a dreamer, I’m thinking, loving and tepid

Oh, lumbering as I am, no halt… I keep rambling

Though for the sake of your love, I stake my affection…

Yes, for this love I'm awake, I take my chance, though many times it breaks

But my weakness is for you, for you, I'm running without brakes… 

I’m here vulnerable to your touch, your words, and your love

Humbled by your warming affection, chastened like a dove!

Smothered in your arms, pampered by your charm yet, I succumb  

To your magic, I adore… to you I am vulnerable!
