Biggest Fear

I want you to have it all
My soul, my mistakes, my heart,
You have the key to my innermost thoughts
Slowly unlocking every door 
That shades you from me, from what I don't want you to see 
MY TRUE COLORS

Running away from you, from the one who 
relates, listens, and appreciate me for who 
I AM
Chasing you away from my heart, willing to feel lonely
Just so you won't have a way to hurt me.
Constantly chasing you in circles never knowing where it began
and where it will end

You've unlocked everything, you've seen
my fears, my secrets, my joy,
Only one door left as you open it all you see
is a MIRROR, my biggest fear
facing fear itself, my mistakes
MYSELF
