Surrender Sacred Ground

I'm afraid to surrender my sacred ground, Afraid that the keeper of these grounds for long won't be around. I'm afraid to give away my most prized possession, For it is what keeps me going- the rythym of my oppression. I'm too frightened to let go of all I have felt, To surrender my sacred ground is to show the cards I've been dealt. I'm too regretful to reveal the very portal of my soul, Not willing to give the part of the Lover if they can't play the role. I'm so terrified of the Truth, Because it hurts to try to bare. So hard to avoid the pain, when my Emptiness is always there. I'm afraid to surrender my heart- my most prized possession. I'm too frightened to let go of everything I've felt, To surrender my very heart is to show the very cards I've been dealt. I'm too regretful to release my heart- the very portal of my soul. Not willing to give the part of the Lover, if they can't play the role. I'm so terrified of the Truth, Because it hurts to try to bear. So hard to avoid the pain, when my emptiness is always there.
