can i take off the masks
that hide me away
letting go the murk within
can i share my deepest
darkest bits with you
can you love me then
can i stop hiding
are you a safety net found
allowing me to purge
and let go
to be seen, heard
and understood
are you the one
who wants to know me
hear me, really seeing me
the healer of pasts
the love in my present
the hope of my future
… are you?
