TRUST ME

TRUST ME, WILL YOU?

No, do not raise your voice,
I'm not in the midst of a din;
No, do not scream at me,
My ears have already been taken in -
By the storms that fill my mind,
And the clouds that rise within.

No, do not call me names anymore,
I already have few and more;
No, do use threats against me,
It only wakes the beast in me -
That fights to death, until the last breath,
A fighter am I, and dangerous at that.

Yes, love me, will you?
With all that is in you?
Know that I have only you,
My beloved forever true.

Yes, trust me, will you,
With all that is in you.
It is the balm of my heart -
Healing all pain and hurt.
