Ready to Fall

Like a ton of bricks

Like a waterfall

Like an avalanche

Just say the word

I gather my dry heart

Like sticks primed for the kindling

I pray there will be sparks

I wish you'd see me different

I hold this torch and hope

That it casts me in a better light

Worth a chance or just a try

Worth making an offer

I bite my lip the thousandth time

Your beauty still unfathomable

I hold my tongue in spite

Of the way you make my brain light up

Of the fire you might yet ignite

Of the shadow worth dispelling

Of the tale of giving love a chance

A story worth re-telling

I hold my tongue another moment

Try to pack these feelings up

Scribbling hearts against these scraps

My paper heart ready for filling up

Folded up like origami

But I'd bloom if you said the word

Eden in the making

A chance, a love worth taking

Say the word and I'm all in

A star ready for the falling

Your skies are already beautiful

But I want to make them flawless

I wish I could take the stars

And make them dance for you

Give a meaning to their beauty

Draw these constellations new

Make every day a new beginning

Take you dancing on the moon

For someone so beautiful

Deserves more than just this world

Say the word and set this off

My feelings for you haven't changed

And I'll care for you no matter what

Whether or not your answer stays the same

Like summer rain

Awaiting thunder

Patiently

I still remain

Ready to Fall
