Even When

You claim you want me,

but would you really?

If I truly poured all my heart out to you?

Would you still want to take me

as yours?

Would you still want to lie beside me?

I do.

But only if you will

still

trust me with your heart

even when I feel like

I'm falling apart.

If so

then even with water staining my cheeks,

I'll passionately kiss you

and this time without ever pulling away.

I'll allow myself to become intoxicated by you

and embrace you.

I will see nothing

but you.

Blinded by your dexterity.

Our mouths moving

and breathing

in sync.

And for the first time

you can see it all.

I'll allow you to taste me.

To taste the salty, rolling tears

that fall.

And for the first time

someone would understand.

You,

would understand.

But it's such a pity

(It at least seems)

that no one

could ever

love me
