Tumble

I want to tumble into you
Into the warmth of your laugh
And let you unlock my secret mind.
I want to be open & let you see the person I am underneath the polished exterior.

To let you walk through the hidden corridors of my mind, letting you peruse the doorways inside. I crave to be understood & explored.

But he came first & destroyed the precious things inside. He left carnage behind.

So I'm locked up tight, deadbolted & secure.
