Drowning

I tried to dip a toe in
But you yanked me in head first
Enveloped in your essence
Yet for more I seem to thirst

Swimming in sweet surrender
With your hand in mine held tight
I cannot hold myself back
I capitulate the fight

Kind words so keenly spoken
They distract me from my fear
Then I opened up my eyes
And I could not find you near

You've now given me the chance
To pull my armor 'round me
Shielded from embarrassment
Of my own naivety

So stupid was I to trust
You wouldn't hurt me like the rest
Now my heart shall ever be
Heavily guarded at best
