Touch Me

Can I whisper every secret

Let all insecurities fade

Draw from your eyes compassion

that will break the chains of hate

Self-hatred

Regret

Resentment

I know you love me

I know you see the deeper part of me

You embrace the worst

You love the best

But I...hate the heaviness inside of me

The fear that we can’t give each other more

Touch me..

Touch me deeper than before

I need to know our love is more than enough

Stop the tears from falling as you tell me this is true

Can I let my secrets burst through my pain as I open up to you..?

Will you love me when I’m broken?

Will you hold me when I cry?

Flow through my veins

Until my fears melt away

I have never been this close,

This vulnerable to hurt

Teach me what trust is

Search my eyes

Let your love destroy the lies
