Honesty Hurts
I can't let you in,
Can't let you see the marks that line my heart.
I picked and I tore,
I tried to ignore,
The love that you held for me.
I told myself that I wasn't worthy of love,
That love was synonymous to pain,
But I can't hide behind that idea anymore.
I'm afraid to love,
And I'm afraid that you'll leave.
You say that you won't,
But how could I know?
Your eyes may scream passion,
And your tongue may cry endearment,
But what of your mind?
I don't want to hurt,
And I've never hurt like that before.
I avoid pain at every turn in my life,
So I'm sorry that every fiber in my core,
Is telling me to run while I still have a chance.
