Belonging

One day I hope I can hear the words

You belong to me

And breathe them deep inside

No longer fearing

I will be captured

By a force

That would tie me to a yolk

That would restrict me

And steal my breath completely

One day

I just wish

That these barricades of resistance

Deep inside my heart

Would melt

Allowing me to surrender

To this love I feel deep inside

When you speak my name

And lay claim to my body and soul

One day

I wish the tormentor

Would just release his iron grip

And allow me

To find my home in you

Abandoning me to this belonging

You offer to me

So passionately and wholeheartedly
