uncertain

you are at the borders of my soul
and I am uncertain to your purpose.

choose your words carefully, prayerfully,
as I am looking for more than the veneer
of a lover, more than a slipcover heart
wrapped in plastic for your own protection.

you are at the borders of my soul
and I am uncertain to your purpose.

I am not just uncertain as to your purpose
but I realize your leap of faith is great
for you have seen the evil and mediocrity
of small, rote declarations of love and hope.

you are at the borders of my soul
and I am uncertain to your purpose.
