Unveiled Emotion

So many new things...

Experiences that I'm not used to.

Words I've never heard.

Sights I've never seen.

Lips I never thought I'd touch.

Emotions that I've never felt.



No longer feeling so alone.

You have shown me a new place.

My heart...

Locked away for so long,

Stone cold and cracked.

Awakened and renewed.

Alive and beating.



What is this that I feel?

Should I trust it?

I'm beckoning to you.

Begging you.

Pleading with you.

Give me a good reason.

Give me proof.



Help me understand what I feel.

Tell me you want me.

Tell me you need me.

Let me know that I'm good enough.

Trust me, love me, have me...

Please don't hate me or hurt me...



These unveiled emotions are so strong.

Hide them, I can not.

Hide them, I will try.

Forgive me if I push away.

It is simply my defense.

A shield against pain.

A wall to hold me up.

A barrier to keep my soul caged...
