Devotion

It's hard to have you look into my eyes My soul it shows so much pain A reflection of my fractured life I wish to keep locked away It's hard to feel you touch my flesh My body rejects the feeling From many who have come before you They bruised and battered my image It's hard to have you tell me you love me My ears they want to play dead For it means I have to open them up And reciprocate the feelings It's hard to feel the love you give For it's rejection that I fear For words that fall from your lips Could be phony without any meaning Actions are what speak to the heart Factual and true So if you really mean what you say Than my darling I love you too
