May 2010
Look at me and break my shell
I've sat here and waited
For your eyes

With eyes that see past my own
Through the window they become
Into my heart and it's pain
You can hear these muted tears

For all my truths lay behind these walls
Behind the fortress I've built
My past keeps me from trusting
Anything that shines

I have a love for the broken
I know they would never brake another
I know that they are safe
I know they are dependent like me

With you it's like a system shock
You're one giant risk that my mind isn't willing to insure
My heart is leaping and keeping time to a new rhythm
No longer depressed but pleased

You see me in a way I've wanted to see myself
I envy you for that
I want you for that
