Show Me
By TornPaperDoll
Take off that mold
That plaster on your face
Show me every flaw,
Show me truth and disgrace
I can barely see your eyes
And all that they must hold
The weight they carry
The warm, along with the cold.
Your lips are far too firm
For me to touch with mine
But I think that I would rather
Feel the realness that’s behind.
You don’t have to play pretend with me
I won’t be afraid if you show me your scars
Because someone once told me
Even darkness has its stars
So, you can make yourself defenseless
You no longer have to hide
I promise that I’ll still love
Whomever you’ve hidden inside
Read me all the hurtful things
That you have written time after time
And maybe when you show me yours
I will show you mine.
