Impulsively, No More

I’d let you kiss me 
if it meant my secrets wouldn’t 
escape past my mouth,
if I could look past the ghosts, 
and never force open that 
chamber in my heart again, 
if I could build a church in you
and never let loose my sins.
I'm not used to opening these doors
and you continue to push at my core.
Can’t you see that this 
jigsaw heart just can’t take anymore? 
I should walk away, but 
instead I 
push you away, 
because there is no cure and
this is the best defense 
to this disease.

I’d let you kiss me 
if it simply meant 
nothing more.
