Vulnerable

Folder: 
2007

I reconsidered your proposal today

It's hard to break the bad news

When it's too hard to fake the words I should say

And, I wish I could have resisted you

But, you came crashing in like a hurricane

And, I couldn't do a thing



I took a picture today

Faces in mirrors

Speak so clearly in their own subtle ways

That it's hard denying you to my own face

And, it's even harder denying you my heart

When my heart's the only thing I need you to have



You taught me to protect myself

And to save my soul from unnecessary regret

And, all I can say as of yet

Is that not loving you has been my biggest

And, that loving you is the only thing I can't resist



I wish you could experience me

In the glory of my weakness

And, I wish I could be vulnerable enough

To reinvest myself in loving



I tore apart the picture

You know the one

Of you and I, I mentioned earlier

I just couldn't bear the thought

You know, that weight gets so heavy

That my mind can't focus on anything

Other than you're not here

And, God knows, that can't be healthy



I wish you could experience me

In the glory of my weakness

And, I wish I could be vulnerable enough

To reinvest myself in loving

And, I wish I could be vulnerable enough

To reinvest myself in anything at all
