A Border Conflict

Help me wend my way
'twixt these mines well laid
Step lightly, gently
Speak softly
I choose each word, each smile
lightly, gently
Stalk softly a love well-given
Take or refuse
what is offered up to you
These mines well laid
'twixt your heart and mine
Help me wend my way.
Leave me now
and I will walk forever maimed.
