unknown star from afar
looking deep into my soul
at all of the skeletons, thick cobwebs
that I keep locked up tight
you stole the key that I gave willingly
you didn't throw it away
you let me see another day
with the sun on my face
yet another chance to embrace
the fact that my secrets are coming out...
shield your eyes, look away,
but yet you choose to stay
here before me as I lay
in the green grass of your eyes
looking up into the skies above me,
cover me
in sweet tranquility
and let me be
happy...
again...
no longer a teen I'm in between
tomorrow's past and the thought of yesterday,
but today when I thought that I would ask
if you wanted to stay
for a while, let my secrets walk a mile
inside your head
and you tell me that my heart is not dead,
instead she's just waiting
all dressed up, anticipating
the fall
into vulnerability that we're all
afraid of ..not, just of love
but that ultimate surrender,
the sacrifice that will render
me helpless in the abyss
called togetherness with someone who is ready
to help keep my spirit steady on this wire
trembling above the sea of fire
where I used to be drenched in pure self-pity
but now I am free to be me ...
happy...
again...
