heart in hand and foot in mouth
wondering how that happened to come out
took my heart off my sleeve
took it in hand and held it out
so vulnerable, so fragile so tender
and undenyably cowardly
arms open wide, hoping to be able to confide
this hurt unmending, this torment unending
but distant stares only prove, inconsistant atitudes
this man, this boy, this fraying rope
has started losing all sense of hope
for a brighter future, for a chance to share
his life again with someone who cares
for him as more than a friend
for someone to show him this is not the end
but only a new begining
help me see the light
through this endless night
and show me that everything might
turn out all right
