Dont Hide
Don’t hide
I know you are flawed
I know…
You hide behind the imperfections
Of your very soul
Wanting the world to only see
The beauty of your face
The glimmer in your eyes
You carry yourself with grace
Beautiful in every way
Suave
Everyone in awe
As you stand tall
Confident
Your outer beauty
A cover
A shelter in which you hide
What lies inside
But I see
I see it all
Oh baby, don’t hide
Knowing your imperfection
Just makes me love you more
Your weaknesses
Your needs
You fears of being hurt
Again
Anxiety
Having to be the man
That is made of steel
Not allowed to feel
To weep
To believe
To dream
Having to provide
Strength
Stability
When you just need to be vulnerable
A child
Don’t hide
I’m here
Shhhh……I’m H e r e
Come, let me caress you
Embrace you
Put your head on my lap
Let me sooth the troubles away
As my fingers play through your hair
And my arm rests on your chest
Feeling the rise and fall of your dreams
The beating of your heart
Messaging your need
To be cared for
To be freed
Don’t hide
Let it all out
Let it go
All that binds you
Let it all show
I can only love you more
When you show your need
For me…
I’m here...
Let my lips find yours
Let me kiss away your pain
Bathe your wounds
With the oitment of my love
Let me be your strength
Listen to me....
Obey
I want to find you
To move you
Command you
Lead you where you must go
Give me control
Let it all go…
Be weak in my arms
For there you’ll find comfort
I will pacify
Let me rock you
Hush now
Hush…
Listen to my song
My lullaby
Don’t hide
When you sleep away the pain
Here on my breast
You will awaken…refreshed
In control
You will seek me
I will be here
Waiting to be found
Ready to be the play thing
That you need
The toy you had to give up
To become a man
Play with me
I will not hide…
I will let you come
Inside…
