I love it when you call me baby

i love it
when you call me baby
love the fire
your sexy voice inspires
promises of safety
i have made to my tattered heart
you have made me a liar



love it when you say
what you want
how you want it
and "it" is me

everything you
do, say, write
is moving me forward
to where i know not

you are advancing me
when others have tried and failed
your strong, gentle confidence moves me
makes me want to
peek
around corners,
take baby steps
take giant leaps

my fear is still here and there
but when you call me
baby
your voice beats it back
parting the black emptiness
letting a ray of light
come inside
making it so difficult
for me to hide

i love it when you call me
baby
