You struck me dead with one look of your eyes
As they scanned up and down my body
Never before had I wanted someone to appreciate
Who I was as much as I wanted you too
You made me want to do something
I had not done in a long time.
You made me want to like myself.
Years ago I separated my heart from my head
I built a wall, a Berlin Wall between my head and my heart
Denying access, not letting them integrate
Keeping north away from South
Just like east had been kept away from west.
Over the years people had tried to infiltrate and
Access the emotions that lay dormant
And I played along.
I wanted them to access them, I wanted them to be the one to show me
That maybe
Sometimes
Letting your emotions and your mind connect is the right thing to do.
But none of them made me believe.
And then you came along, with your piercing eyes
That with one look cracked at the heart my foundations
Made my bricks crumble at the knee
You
You were the David Hassellhoff singing
I’ve been looking for freedom
And your beautiful cacophony caused my wall to crumble and fall
And I fell with it
I fell for you.
And so
When your eyes scanned up and down my body
You broke me down
And I wanted nothing else
Than to like myself.
And so, as your arms warped themselves around my broken foundations,
Protecting me and shielding me
I knew
That the part of me I liked best
Would always be you.
