Stubborn Child

How my throat strangles these words away.
Though my beating heart is ever so deceitful.
Stubborn little thing - always been -
She is such a child. Constantly scolded by my Mind. Chastised with reason.
Constantly reaching for fire - all to be warmed with the gestures spewing from the back of my head.
Soft gazes and delicate touches
Whispered secrets and wantonous laughters.
With every beating second, a confession drummed --
"I love you. I love you. I love you."
