If I Stumble
Forgive me
If I stumble and fall
For I know not how to walk in love too well
I am clumsy
And my words at times
Don’t form all that I truly wish to tell
I wish you could climb into my heart to see
All that was from them
And what began with me
So let me kiss you instead
And let my lips paint for you
Images imbedded within my head
Forgive me if I stumble
I’m halfway open
But the curtains slightly closed
The veil we peer through
Occludes the view
All for the journey we choose
All to stumble back into the self
All to fall back into me
Forgive me if I stumble
I’ve been trying to align my feet
Torn between a clumsy heart
Tripping out of my mind
Keeping in mind
After all that I’ve seen
What I know of my true self
Of what’s left
And whom I’ve been told to be
So, forgive me if I stumble.
