Love Me Enough

Love me enough to step out of your cage

Let the wild you meet me 
without bars between us

The door is open, step out, shed your tame self, let the wild you free

Move boldly to me, take the treats I offer from my hands, lick the leftover juices from my fingers

Walk in the sunlight with me, feel the warmth against your skin, our skin

Come with me to the water, feel the cool silk of wet against your skin, our skin

You stop to look over your shoulder, the cage door is open

You shrink away, I feel you leave, I let you go

You slowly turn back, close the door, and pace in your cage 

I stand in the sunlight with it's warmth on my skin, 
only my skin; 
I feel the cool water lapping against me, 
only me.
