no choice
I have no choice
but to respect my responses
(and yours)
and express how I am feeling
(good or troubled)
I can’t help
but to listen and hear you
sensing your joy, pain
and troubles
even if I can’t decipher it all
I can’t help
but to honour your choices
your yes
and your no
expecting you will follow your truth
I have no choice
but to relax
into the tension
of my pleasure, discomfort
and the unknown
of our connection
I have no choice
but to inconvenience you
when I am moved and stirred up
If you care
I have no choice
but to find the courage in my heart
to reveal my desires
with no idea how to hide behind a mask
forgotten how to put on a brave face
and no memory how to lie
I have no choice
but to stand in the fire
of my vulnerability
