You Are

You're a beautiful boy, darling, flawed as you are...
And there's a storm brewing within me, as it always does,
But this time, it seems, my impulse to run is paralyzed
And instead, I want to stick around and hide myself
Within you.

You're a brilliant boy, darling, shy as you are...
And there's something inside me that wants to come play,
But this time, it seems, captivity is the best option
Before ruining this by acting too quickly
For you.

You're a wonderful boy, darling, reluctant as you are...
And the hunter in me wants to proceed and pull you out of your skin,
But this time, it seems, the tables have turned and somehow
The predator's pacified and put at ease by
You.
