To Know You

Please take this time to tell me what is in your heart,
yes that is where I wish to start.
Tell me what motivates your fears to no end,
tell me this for I wish to be your friend.
Tell me the secrets you have to hold so close inside,
move your lips and let your idea be my guide.
Tell me of your lovers and past victories and sorrow,
tell me all the things you dreaded yesterday and your hopes for tomorrow.
I want to know everything about you that you’re willing to share,
I want to know what you hate ad if you really even care.
Why do I ask this of you and should I even be so bold,
well my dear I wish to understand you when you get hot and cold.
I want to see inside your heart and understand what’s in your soul,
I want to know you for that is my true goal.
Tell me all this and I shall share what I have of my life,
tell me what I wish to know and who knows you maybe my wife.
Is it too much that I want your trust so complete,
to take it all and give you not even a receipt.
My eyes are portal that only few have ever come to know,
trust in me and I will grant you this one show.
For in the end I shall show you what I hold dear,
and we shall understand my goals, my life and my fear.
If you are strong enough then your metal will stand the test of time,
and you will understand that by loving me is not your worst crime.
Know that even I have demons locked away hid from sight,
and I have to battle for life in every mental fight.
My resolve will make the man I am to be,
and in the end you will understand what you see.
You give me something and then I give to you,
and through all of it we will see what is true.
