Picking Up A Loaded Rifle

By SilentStalker

And when we're together
Naked and exploding with passion
Don't let my previous demeanor fool you
I'll never make the first move

Fear is a constant; you have my trust, believe me

So come closer
Grasp me by the hand
Tell me what you long to do
Or tell me nothing at all
I'll submit to desires when
I know the heart is true

And if I start to cry, just hold me and tell me it's going to be okay

Like a new piece of china
Take from me carefully
Until time and touch help you
Figure out what I can endure
Without shattering in your grip

Tears never expressed such joy; miracles are but a work of the mind

The lock is broken
Let me rush out to you
Hold you in my arms
Look you in the eyes
And fill you with the same
love you gave to me

Breaths are short when hearts collide; Sweat is but the body crying for more

And I will collapse
I never said I was the best
But if you still have it in you
Stay with me--wait with me
Hold and embrace that feeling
I will do what you need me to do...

Take me...I will give everything I have

For life... For love... For you...

Awww you stole my heart with this one, it just made me shudder. This was intense and magical in so many ways I couldn't stop reading. *Confessing* this is my second time and yet I stand can't breathe. This was great Darun. You're truly magic

such a gift sounds profound from such a heart so frightened to give.

Oh my lord. You have just swept me off my feet and let love rush back into me. If the soldier who has me chained could even think so lovely I'm sure I would melt. Alas, war fucks you up lol. Grand job, you've stolen my heart.
