David

My true love
Does not see me
He sees my shield
Will he set me free?

The scars cover my heart
And bind my thoughts
I pull at them, they bleed
It all starts with one dot

That small dot of blood
Gathers more and more,
Next thing I know
My heart begins to pour

It pours out the hurt and pain.
I am left alone and empty inside.
He sees my true self
I want to hide.

I take the love he gave me
And absorb it into my heart
It is all I can see now
I never want to part

He wants time to think
I promise I will wait
I will stay by his side
For as long as it takes
