How Do You Do?

You're afraid to get too close...

By LaDricka WrightPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

How do you go about love if you've never felt it? How can you place your heart in someone's palm if it will get melted? At what time do you switch on the charm without fear that you'll set off the alarm and your compliments start meaning harm and now.... Your smile is no longer warm. You're afraid to get too close because the truth in "I want to be with you" is shooting chills up your spine. Chilvary's not dead but weak and injured, needing to be reconjoured, proven and glorified to where there's no more lies or reading between the lines. How do you be kind when rude mean and harsh has stolen its shine? The pep talk "be yourself becomes redundant, averse, just a verse when you bring them you but they want something or someone better.... Something you already knew. When will we go back to the fondly way we followed fixed orbits around each other? Wrapping each other in blankets of affection.
