How can we overcome learned insecurities
Making sensory tendrils recoil in anxieties
When we wish to reach out and touch love
But had tips and worse burned when tried?
Thinking of you I become emboldened to
Reach out and take you into my embrace
Looking into your eyes with conviction
Affirming against doubts’ past poisons
But I can only find the perfect timing
In whispers of daydreams filtering in
Past imprinted harborings of damage
We are both perhaps still restricted by
I want us to be freed from these shrouds of
Unfulfilling experiences miscommunicated
Would a path be to recondition ourselves
Applying Cognitive Behavioral retraining?
For surely having had our hearts injured
We must counter by stronger assertions
Although I suspect that experiencing much
Positive reinforcement together will retrain
On levels no other therapy could or would
Create in deeper healing we have needed
