Mar 2014
Under the covers of ourselves,
Our souls hide.
Covered behind lies,
Our real selves lie.
Fear and insecurity,
Hidden behind walls.
And yet, you know how to walk them through
And you know every stone of my walls,
The same way I knew yours.
You drew me out of my covers
And now you left me.
You went away,
Away with my security,
Away with my soul.
So I find myself crawling back to my covers,
Inside again.
I will never come out.
I won't let myself be crushed again,
I won't give my soul away again.
