Give me everything...

I heard a whisper
it would not go away
it told me of secrets
and asked for something dear...I hid.

I heard a shout
it would not be quieted
it told me it loved me
and asked for something dear...I ran.

I came upon
a soft, firm hand
it knocked out my breath
and asked for something dear...I cried.

So gently,
so extremely loving and kind
but firm and unwavering
the request was made again...I wept.

Something inside me
seemed to rip, my heart was now in two
and everything I had was gone
I'd relented, surrendered all.

He smiled.
At me.
I stopped.
And I stared.
At Him.
I was free!
