If you were to show them,
would they really understand,
the wounds that live inside your heart?
If you were to show them,
what you really think,
would they judge your thoughts,
or would they say,
I’ll hold the space, you so
desperately need
If you were to show them,
the parts of yourself you hide
behind your happy smile,
would they walk away,
or would they stay awhile
If you were to show them,
the pain behind your sparkly eyes,
would they act surprised
or would they say,
I knew it all along,
that’s why I’ve never left
your side
If we were to show one another,
exactly who we really are,
would we be able to hold each another,
or simply, drift apart
