In the mirror’s gaze, I see a stranger’s eyes,
A heart wrapped in shadows, a soul that denies.
I dream of your laughter, your warmth like the sun,
Yet tangled in fear, I feel I’m undone.
I long for your touch, but I push you away,
Fearing the moment, you’ll choose not to stay.
My mind spins with tales of what might come to pass,
A phantom of heartache, like shattered glass.
I build up these walls, each brick laid in doubt,
Afraid to believe, what my heart wants and needs.
You whisper sweet nothings, but I can’t let them in,
The truth of your love felt like a sin.
I cheat on my heart with these thoughts that I weave,
Convinced I’ll be alone, convinced you'll leave
Yet, In the night’s silence, I crave your embrace,
To feel all your warmth, in your sacred space.
But shadows of doubt, they twist and they turn,
In this war with myself, it’s your love that I yearn.
What if I’m flawed, unworthy of you?
What if my fears are the only truth?
But deep in my heart, a flicker remains,
A hope that our love, can break through these chains.
I struggle with demons that whisper and sneer,
Telling me lies that I’m too broken to hear.
Your trust I have shattered, our bond I betrayed
Yet your love remains,
You never turned your back on me
Or left me estranged.
I’ve hurt you with actions I cannot defend,
Pushed you away when I needed a friend.
But somehow your kindness, your patience prevails,
A healer to the wounds, where compassion unveils
So here I am standing, with wounds yet to mend
A girl with a heart that longs to transcend
If only I’d trust, if only I’d see,
That love’s not a prison, but a journey to be free.
I’ll fight through these issues,
I’ll learn to believe,
That you’re here for the journey,
not just to leave.
Together we’ll mend every scar, every tear,
In the tapestry of love, I’ll find my way here.
With courage I’ll face the fears I’ve amassed,
Holding your hand, I’ll let go of the past.
In the dance of devotion, we'll both learn to soar, transforming our wounds into strength evermore
Love when it's nurtured, will blossom and flourish,
Together we will build a love that's nourished.
