I AM ABOUT TO BURST!!!

     i get anxious
        wondering
            how many hoops
    I'm gonna have to
       jump through
   before you realize
         I'm the only woman
     in this world
         who can create
           magic with you
    within you
    without you
        about you
  I don't 
    doubt you
  I don't
    doubt us
      and so i fret
      and fuss
      and cuss
    you out
      tears streaming
    I'm screaming
     Love Me!
     Feel Me!
     Don't let it rust
     into so much lust
     Trust me
     I need you to say the words
          first
  I AM ABOUT TO BURST!!!
       and then
    with a few soft words
      and a touch
   you calm me
   you melt me
   you let me
    lay down
   while you do
    all the work
   and you are in control
   and you know where this is going
     and all i can do
     is sigh
    and rest
   in your shadow
