Show Me

Show me what
you are hidding,
the thoughts and
feelings you
keep stored away.
Show me someone
other than the
beaten, lost boy
who hides only
to protect himself.
Show me the
heartache I know
you still think of.
The hurt, the anger
I'll understand.
Show me that you
trust me, to help
heal the wounds.
Show me that
you are as
strong as you
appear and as
gentle as I know.
Show me that
there's more to you
than what you've let
me see thus far.
Show me that
you know you're
not the only
one to ever suffer
from a broken heart.
Show me all the
wisdom I know you
hide somewhere.
Show me all I want
to see, and I'll gladly
show you all of me.
