the way you wield

so wrecklessly

your new-found powers over me

is a thing more frightening than

taking a plunge into the deep end

for

like i told you:

i can’t swim.

or can i?

knowing my secret is

in your heart locked and

you yourself shall

keep the key of it

makes me rethink

makes me wonder

makes me want to try

at least

to tread.
