A Risk Worth Taking


The one you love should touch your soul

Calm the storm that riots within you 

Bring out the wholesome you 

Love is a risk

It exposes you

Your vulernibility

Your trust

Your patience

Your understanding

Not only can love create beauty 

But take it away

It can destroy with even the simplest touch 

Destroy hope, self-worth, strength

Tread carefully for love may not always be so kind
