Take chances, leap fall and return
What if your past still stings with a burn?
If all you have ever known is fear
How can I let you in or get near
If fear is all that crucified the past
How can I presume anything good will last?
If angered eyes and cursing lips screamed
How can I close my eyes with a smile once dreamed?
Only nightmares live when I sleep
Making me vengeful as I wake and weep
Your eyes as soft as any I know
Experience has shown that can quickly go
If all I have ever known is hate not love
I can only put trust in him up above
As his hand he cannot raise or hit
I can stand, walk, run or sit
Yet in your presence how do I know it remains
As I stutter from the memory of such pains
I can’t trust, love or admire another now
So I end this with a secretly adoring bow
