Surrender

A raging torrent of emotions
Lurking behind a face of stone
She goes steadily through the motions
But her feelings she will not own.

Her feelings it seems she fears
For they leave her heart exposed.
Another’s feelings though she hears
And she shies from what is proposed.

To the chase I now surrender
My heart, my soul and my time.
I pledge forever to defend her
As life’s mountain she does climb.
