Show Me

I want to know

how to open my heart

while letting you inside.

Free me from the hurt

and release all my pain.

Show me how to feel,

without being afraid.

Letting go of the past

while seeking brighter days.

To love is so amazing,

but to love and be loved

just feels so much better.

Show me how

to break down this wall,

and give it all I got.

Embracing change

and new opportunities

without having my heart on lock.

Show me that you care

without seeking control,

Be the comfort that I need,

when there's nothing else to hold.

◄ The struggle
