truly

you can touch
the skin i'm in
without ever touching
me
too deep to feel
a pain
reverberating
softly
souls
lost too far
beneath the shield
how can i ask
you to love
me
when i have no
idea
how to love
you back
truly
it's better
that you
didn't fight for
me
truly
i should be
grateful
to wear your
love as an
echo
deep
deep
deep
down
beneath
the confines
of my soul
where scares
fill holes
so deep
they send chills
far below
ripples
truly
it's better
this way
truly
i'm a house
locked
boarded up
truly
it's better
dear
truly
on the surface
walk away

It's Fine

If you love me
do something about it
I'm an inconclusive mind
whisper me some answers
I'm struggling to find
show me all my questions
are concerns lost
overtime
show me
show me
you loved me
all along

and if you don't...
it's fine
and if you don't...
it's fine
You'll go your way
and I'll go mine
yes, if you don't...
it's fine.

But, if you love me
say it
say it now
now
while there's time
show me
show me
I am yours
and you are
mine
say it.

and if you don't...
it's fine.

but, if you do...
now, now is the time.
