Surrender


I don't know why I fight it.

Your touch and eyes send me to a place that I don't enjoy,

I relish in the thought that nobody knows what I'm thinking.

I mask my emotions to a T and yet you can read me.

Your probably like me. We both know what we want,

but the difference is the I will never surrender to you.

But when you toch me, my body feels like it's going into a state of shock.

My body quakes under your touch, my skin starts to fell as if it was set ablaze,

my breathe quikens as I pant and claw at my fast beating heart. Your intensity is something 

I relish in. 

Nobody could cause me such a state of euphoria. This is why I am cautious around you

this feeling scares me. 

When you look at me I can tell your eyes see what lies deep behind my cool countence.

Exposing me to the light. This scares me 

I can't surrender because then I have nothing 

I am naked for everyone to see

No matter how much I yern for your touch and similarity.

For someone like me this is ideal but, you've seen too much of me 

and now you have the power

I can't surrender.
