I am trying to make my insecurities
disappear from my eyes every time you look at me
I try to be strong,
even though I am terrified
of feeling this weak inside.
There is so much I have given away,
you know all the secretes that have ever been
etched upon my heavy burdened heart,
and I cannot help but think
that if I hadn't told you anything at all,
anything about all these secrets etching away inside of me,
then perhaps this silence would not be
etching its way between you and me.
