I am a loose cannon,
my thoughts and words
get the better of me.
I don't know
how to contain it sometimes.
I say what's on my mind,
I say things that I should have held back.
But I do speak my mind,
to you, because it's honest.
It's those things we have,
in the back of our minds.
Except I speak them to you.
I say what I say because I want you to know.
I want you to know where I am at,
where my thoughts are at, everything.
Yes, it's scary at times.
Because I don't know how you will respond.
The back burner of my mind,
is for you to see.
Something only you can have,
because I couldn't share it at home.
Because you are the only one
that understands me.
It's probably why,
I desire you still.
I can't hide my words from you,
because I trust you.
But my mind, and desire
is yours.
but it will stay on the backburner,
always there.
