Call me deeper than

You ever have before.

I’ve been floating

On the surface of

Your heart again.

Wrap your waiting arms

Around the middle of me,

Cover my mouth

And open my eyes.

Pull me under and away

From the assumptions

I’ve made of you.

I want to see you, new;

I want to feel your

Fingers touch the places

I’ve roped off –

Far too dangerous

To let swim free.

I want to trust like

I’ve never trusted before –

That this you,

Wanting all of me,

Is the only anchor

I will ever need.
