Hiding

For so long I've been hiding

Trying to avoid the truth

If I don't acknowledge it

I can't be hurt by it

But the longer I run

The harder it is

Your touch, words, s,ell

Are pulling me in

Everyday that goes by

Breaks me down more

Your love tugs at me

To drop my defenses

And allow it to embrace me

So I can show it back to you

I do't want to be defenseless

And allow myself to be hurt

But by holding back

I know I'm missing out

Slowly my walls are falling

All that I've been

Is being destroyed

Your love for me

WIll helpe me to break free

Of the prison I'm in

And allow me to experience

The greatest of all things

The love of another, of you
