Tremble Poem by Zainab Mustapha

Tremble



you know..I want to open up
all of me to you again
and just let it flow like it used to
but my heart trembles

I want to be comfortable
laughing at your silly jokes
and adoring your mischievous smile
but my heart trembles

I want to just lay in bed
wondering how someone can be so cute
and naughty and just everything I love
but my heart trembles

I want to go on dates
and play silly games
and just walk the streets holding hands
but my heart trembles

I want to nibble your lips in and be
content smiling like
I just achieved my life's biggest goal
but my heart trembles!

I just want to stay miles away
from you without fear
knowing that no one can take my place
but my heart trembles

no, don't get me wrong
this is more than insecurities and jealousy
My heart trembles at the rate it beats for you
yet I can't say the same for you

I want to thank the heavens everyday for you
for I want to count you at the top of my blessings list
but my heart trembles

I want to trust you again
badly! I want to close my eyes
believing you're watching me sleep
and thanking the heavens for me

But my heart trembles at
am I enough for you?
it's not enough to say you love me
but can I trust you to hold me and keep me?

can I trust you not to break me again?
even when you have every excuse to
cos I really want this to work
And this makes my being trembles...
