The vulnerability that you fear, the secret to your success
It doesn’t mean just being submissive, its love at its best
It’s giving someone the power to destroy you, But trusting them not to
Giving them they key to your heart and finally letting them through
Being gut level honest and open with someone, unveiling your inner thoughts
Having faith in knowing what they’ll never reveal, secrets that between you two stay concealed.
Its secret to intimacy… openness, just put your fears aside
No one is going to reject you, please swallow your pride
We all crave authenticity, we know that no one’s perfect
But if you shut people out you will never win… now really, is it worth it?
It’s the greatest source of strength, it shows us all that we’re human
Opening up to feel, that’s truly love that’s all consuming
You’re safest in the heart of the one who holds you close
The one who loves through good, bad and ugly and makes damn sure you know
I far from a philosopher, and I don’t mean to sit and critique
But In my opinion vulnerable is the gateway love, not once has it ever meant weak

in my experience, vunerability has always meant that they only need a shorter knife to stab you with. you hear that your woman wants you to be able to be vunerable, but when you show even a small amount of it, she looks at you with pure disgust, and walks away never looking back. then uses it to betray you at a later time just to crush you. sorry, but this is what I have experienced. if this is the key to true love, then I guess I will never know it. I am beginning to feel that there is no such thing as love.....

I think thats where the problem lies, there are many women who take that for granted, use someone's inner most secrets, thoughts, and fears against the person who opens up to them. Becuase they were once vulnerable and burned it's like pulling teeth to be open with someone again. The guy i wrote this about puts up so many walls because he was hurt in the past and doesnt realize that sometimes the walls he puts up are too high for me to climb. With that amaount of distance i cant stick around waiting
This is actually something I haven't read about too often in poetry and its an interesting subject, vulnerability and I think you explored the subject fully, asked the right questions and that ending is fantastic because it can be seen to be weak to be vulnerable and I am glad you are of that opinion.
