bare

my sadness swell inside me
my hurt was bluebirds with no song
sorrow knew me there
down deep in the pain

I was loneliness in the indifference
I keen for misunderstandings
my soul burn for your touch

my quiet resolve kept me prisoner
my pride my undoing
I spoke to soon in error
my tongue cutting
it cut me too

I ache in the emptiness
it swallowed me
and fill me with longing
to unravel time
to touch your soul with I'm sorry

caress your doubt with my honesties
and cover your bare
