Vulnerable

Sweet Darling,
What am I supposed to do
what can I do, without you?

We've done this before
not again, so darling, please,
speak to me once more

I felt your heart rend
I saw the longing in your eyes
but let it mend!

That night, I felt it
I saw your insecurity
and I nearly melted

You're vulnerable, I know
But you're so tough
You'd never let it show

I want you to realize
I want that side, bare it,
You're safe, uncompromised

I dont know if it could be true
but I wonder, under all our love
if I scare the hell outta you

Don't let it build a wall
I want us to stand firm
together, through it all
