Kept myself safe for the longest time
from all the pain and hurt
until I fell into the abyss of your eyes
when you asked permission for my kiss
my heart is open
 and I'm vulnerable because  
its on my sleeve again
to feel your love takes courage
I share myself completely 
not knowing what's coming
around the next corner
at my worst
will you run
or open your arms to welcome me in
while I lick my wounds
will you show me your scars
to let me know I'm not alone 
My self preserved within your love
