Just Start

 

Tear me apart with your eyes.
Rip me to shreds with your thoughts.
Put me back together with your words.
Massage the pieces together with your touch
And coerce everything into fitting together again,
Better.
 
Go off on my insecurities.
Beat up any self doubt.
Invite my passions to go out and play,
Usher yours inside to stay.
Guide their hands together and watch them smile.
 
Guide our hands together and
Watch us smile.
Convince the two of us that we can
Work better together.
Challenge me.
Let me put up my fists and
Punch the demons that plague you.
 
Share in our vulnerability.
Destroy my walls in one fiery explosion or
Whittle them away bit by bit.
 
I'll do the same for you,
Once you make that first
--dent.
