Tell me your name
show me your thoughts
open your heart, open your ears
listen to my heart beat
as it speaks in fear
my heart full of scars
where it used to bleed
beaten and abused
like a forest without trees
a bird without a nest
a working kid who just wants to rest
this is a heart speaking in protest
tired of being overused and confused
ready to love and be loved
like an angel standing before me
i stare into your eyes and see happiness
tears running down my cheek
telling all my truths
hoping you would take me
living a nightmare
waiting for you to wake me
as our lips met with a gentle touch
i opened my eyes and realized
as i saw the beauty in life
if only everybody can love
to be loved back in return
