if you could trust me enough,

would you take my hand?

would you let me lead you

to a place you've never been before?

would you let me show you

the deepest

darkest parts of my heart?

the parts no one else has seen.

you would see

the reason behind every scar,

every fear,

every doubt i have

about myself.

you'd see the lines

that carve and settle

even deeper with every

rhythmic beat.

would you be strong enough

to stay?

because

once the darkness

has passed,

you would see

the little home

i have created for you there.

a spot reserved just for you.

would you relax

and stay awhile?

do you love me enough

to see all of me?

and not just the parts

you decide to see?

-wanting you is so scary for me.
