In Her Mind Poem by Walter Reed

I want to live in her mind,
And make her heart my home.
I want to feel amazement from her smile,
And never feel alone.
Is it true that I'm falling,
Either down from heaven or up from hell.
So close and almost in my grasp,
Yet the words can make my heart swell.
I'm not used to feeling this way,
Nervous and insecure.
She says that it will be ok,
But my mind can't always be sure.
Trust doesn't come easy for me,
Due to past heart aches and regret.
While struggling to find the right words to say,
And failures that my soul can't forget.
Yet I want to let go,
To give my all for just one.
Taking a chance on life,
And not stopping till it's done.
Is this just a foolish gesture,
A game that I don't need to play.
Or is this the plan laid before me,
To teach me how to stay.
In her mind is where I am,
And in my mind is where she lives.
The home of my heart once empty,
But for her I would freely give.
