Afraid
for Jen
I’ve always been afraid
that you could see right through me
that one day you would look past
the masks I pretend I don’t wear
that you would see…well…see me
the softness, the wounded…the me…
I’ve always been afraid
was too needy, too vulnerable
and, what if you saw me
and what if you loved me
and what if you held me
without me ever asking
I’ve always been afraid
I’ve always been afraid
I’ve always been afraid
for anyone to love me
for anyone to know me
for anyone to hold me
yet I feel safe when I am with you
your eyes see me, your voice touches me
your heart holds me
and for a moment I am not afraid
