Inpiration

My breath was taken by your beauty.
Pretty sure you can see right through me.
Whenever you're around,
My walls. My safety.
Falls to the ground.

You've opened me up.
Tore me apart.
Didn't you know you were
playing with my heart?

I tell myself that wasn't your intention.
but did you fail to mention,
mention you wanted me,
only in your time of need?

Blind to my feelings,
they don't even matter.
All I know is you've
got me ready to shatter.

The chance is open,
mine to take.
I've waited so long.
But not for my heart to break.

My mind wants it more than anything.
My soul is caught in between.
My heart wants to protect me,
While using all of my being.

Are you asking out of love and sincerity?
Or is it hopeless desperation?
I could use some more clarity.
What was your inspiration?

Your inspiration to finally ask me?
What changed?
What do you see?
