If I let you in
What would you think?
Would you see a person?
Would you see a thing?
If I showed to you
What was deep within
Would you shrink in fear?
Would you scorn the sin?
If I showed you my scars
Would you trace them like stars?
Would you laugh in derision-
Mock all my flaws?
If I opened my heart
Would you always be gentle?
Would you cradle it softly
And whisper “It’s beautiful”?
If I showed I was lonely
Would you show you were too?
Would you look past it all?
Would you tell me, “I love you”?
Thinking on characters of mine...
