Sincere

you are like a bird he said
so fragile you are
you don’t know me well at all
if this you believe
i can carry my own
and i can fall all alone

yes of course it’s hard to stand
so tall all the time
let me help you then he said
and offered his hand
i am not so proud
to refuse your help

but just know this one small thing
our chances are few
i can’t keep my heart wide open here
waiting for you

but if you return
and you are sincere
i will keep you close to me
forever more
and i will keep you safe and warm

if you change your mind i fear
my heart you’ll destroy
i don’t open up except
on rare occasions
so be clear on your intentions
if it’s your heart
you’re offering to me
