mute

byimpressive©

giving, always giving
never asking someone
(not just anyone)
for love
for me --
just me.

needing
to be a priority
to someone
(not just anyone)

but

afraid that someone
(not just anyone)
would rather leave
than sacrifice anything
for me

and

unable to tell someone
(not just anyone)
what i crave --
for wondering
if it was freely given

or

borrowed against love
would cheapen the gift
and leave the true need
unfulfilled.

thus

my silence
is ever an invitation
for someone
(not just anyone)
to read my heart.
