Leap of Faith

The temptation of dissonance
To hold at arms length
The potentiality
Of intimacy

Thus safe
In the bleak security
Of isolation
Knowing
That if you won't
Let them in
Give them that power
Of your vulnerability
Served up 
On a silver platter
They can't hurt you

Yet in spite of it all
When that knock comes
Making the leap of faith
To reach out your hand
And open the door
