Battling myself til something surrenders Holding onto pain, scared to be tender I’ve been here before, let someone in My heart beats faster, head starts to spin Is this lust, fear, or just my biology I tried to stay away but something is calling me Depth of emotion and a genuine heart It’s difficult to pretend he’s not a work of art He pulls me in and makes me feel alive My soul is getting warmer, I don’t feel deprived I was letting my light dim because pain left me broken But when we started talking something had awoken The part of me I let die, so I didn’t feel pain I was experiencing that surrender, feeling less strain I’m not as fragmented, returning to who I am True to myself, deep, and genuine
