Know the Unknowable

Is your heart un-breakable?
Can I count on it 
to be gentle and kind  (even at your worst)?
Can I know it,  admire it -
Can I depend on its fidelity?

I would let you see me
if I could believe you will;
believe that if I let go
of reluctant sentiments
I may be free to be free.  

Is your love undoubtable?
Can I feel the fire burn
without fear it'll burn out?
Can I see it, hear it, 
trust it with certainty? 

I would let you love me
if I could believe you will;
believe that if I learned
to be and to breathe,
I may know the unknowable.

I welcome constructive critisism; I am not fragile so go for it -- tell me what you really think!
