Tunnel Vision

With you the rest of the world disappears

I only see you

I have been deprived of those emotions for what feels like forever

You have awoken something in me I thought no longer existed

You made my stone walls turn into glass

And shatter them with just a look

I was always told vulnerability was a weakness

In fact I do feel weak with you

But I would rather gamble my heart than it be safe yet worthless

A heart filled with emptiness is not a heart worth having

I would rather have a broken one full of emotion

I am betting on you regardless of whether I win or lose

I will always choose to believe in you

Even if that makes me weak

Vulnerability has never felt so frightening yet freeing

I have never felt so alive

You make me want to risk everything for you

Even though that’s what I was taught not to do

To feel is something I never thought I would achieve

Being weak never felt so strong
