Little by little she ventures out

Only to retreat just as quickly

Hesitant, watchful, trembling, wild

She is no easy challenge

Her will is strong, her mistrust rife,

Is he strong enough?

Will he have patience?

Does he have enough to give her?

Will he love her as much as she will he?

Will she kneel at his feet?

Will she be owned?

Will she grow wet with his prescence?

Will she cherish what he gives her as he does her?

Could he be the one who could tame her?

Maybe he will, maybe he won’t

Could she possibly trust him?

Can he see her soul?

Maybe

Maybe not.
