complacently deceiving myself.
Content to walk in anguish;
for it was my comfort zone.
Covered in a cloak of pride,
hiding my tattered soul.
Hollow eyes filled with pain,
hid behind a smile.
Walking alone,
surrounded by friends.
Hiding, frightened, shaking,
tormented by demons
of a past straight from hell.
Afraid of freedom,
yet longing to be free.
Accustomed to the chains of memories.
Afraid to hope,
yet reaching for it,
praying for it,
only to have it shattered by reality.
Afraid to be loved,
yet craving it.
Haunted by betrayals,
wondering if that feeling existed.
Then you!!!
Your X-Ray vision,
seeing beyond the walls of my heart.
Demanding the end of pride and self-torture.
You opened up my soul,
treating it as if precious,
stirring up the demons,
making me fight them,
yet, giving me strength to win!
Brick by brick,
you gently tore down my walls.
You undressed my body, heart, and soul.
All bared to your caring eyes.
Breaking my pride, my composure,
replacing them with confidence and love.
Brushing off my dusty soul,
and polishing it �til it shone brightly
with a beauty I'd never known.
In some strange way,
you touched my soul.
Your faith in me
restored my faith.
Kissing my scars with your love,
you helped them heal.
Wrapping my heart in your arms
you made it beat again.
Taking my voice in your hands,
you healed my broken song.
