granite enclosure seals YOUR heart Yet YOU'll share with me YOUR soul closing walls stifle YOUR desire Don't want ME to make YOU whole Yourself YOU bind in chains of restraint Lock it up, it won't escape severed heart from soul's union With this Yourself YOU mutilate scared of being one as two And not one on YOUR own empty being content searching in pain As long as you remain alone yet OUR souls intertwine and share Communicating OUR connection achingly hollow YOU leave US Seeing love with solely dejection
By Shelly Claman I stand before YOU No shadows in which to hide Soul naked to YOUR eyes No facade of pride The child within peeks out Of the woman YOU have known YOU hold the key to secrets My heart has never shown I surrounded myself in darkness Feared exposure to the light Never wanted my true soul To come into YOUR sight Buried my emotions Beneath layers and walls Trying to ignore the pain Ignore the sounds of YOUR calls It seared too much to care Face YOU battered and bruised A child with tears in her eyes Frightened of being used My body, my soul, my mind Have scars I feared YOU'd see Little girl huddled in the corner Only wanting to flee But I've stepped out from the shadows I stand before YOUR eyes I've torn down the walls Stopped facades and lies I'm ready to be seen To face the world anew My frightened soul I've opened up to YOU
