Tender Is My Ambition

Tender is my ambition,
To show love.
To express with an openness...
In a devoted trusting shown.

I have grown too weary,
In pretense to be free of this need.
And on shallow surfaces...
I will continue on purpose,
Untill someone awakens...
What is here and wished,
Desperately.

Tender is my ambition,
To show love.
To express with an openness...
In a devoted trusting shown.

When that someone with that key...
Comes to unlock what is inside of me!
I will then feel free,
To absorb completely...
This journey I have found,
In need of company.
