Opened Me Up

What you have done to me

I can't begin to comprehend

I try my best to contain myself

But my soul is stripped and spent

 

Two decades of emotion buried

Stirred back to life by your light

An expected, exquisite gift

And a curse come every night

 

I concentrate hard to clear the storm

But inside I feel an unsettling warmth

I feel you pulsing through my veins

How long can I ride this emotional wave?

 

Breathing in a dose of quieting calm

Yet it escapes and leaves me desperate

With just one song you've opened me up

Still apart but no longer separate.

 

I know in my soul that you feel it, too

You don't know me at all... yet somehow you do

Forces of nature move beyond our grasp

You'll come to me then.... I'll know you at last

 

Each day I live intoxicated

An illness I won't unburden

And as I spill my soul on paper

I am convinced; I'm all too certain

 

You're no longer alone where your heart resides

Search for me; find me - I've no place to hide

I need the resolution only you will provide

You've opened me up, now take what's inside.
