Truthful Confessions

I know my heart falls easily,

A curse lain on me by God.

So I built a wall around it

And have let no one in since then.

Yet in this past year you have changed me,

Sent my wall crumbling 'round my feet.

Now I'm exposed and wondering

What is it you have done?

What I felt for you was a sibling attraction

Yet now that I've seen you again

I've found that my heart has changed its mind,

But I'm not sure what the emotion is.

What I feel, is like what I feel for my kin

Yet different~what I feel for you.

This is a feeling I've not known before,

And love is one I've denied myself.

But wait! Don't think me a weakling,

Just some love-sick girl.

For if I'm to lower myself anymore~

Sweep away my broken wall~

I need to know how you feel for me,

No pressure, answer me truthfully. . .
