Forever in vow

Iv been married nearly 8 years
There's been lots of laughter and a few tears
My husband has seen the worst of me
The best of me, I'm not sure I let free

He reads my poems, tears in his eyes
He reads through everything I try to hide
He says they sound like I'm all alone
But his love means more than I can ever show

Iv been conditioned not to share my feelings 
Scared the truth would make him leave me
But he told me today thats not the case
That a marriage with secrets is not our fate

The problem is iv never felt this way
Angry or sad both to outweigh 
Heartbroken in love many times before
Heartbroken by family hurts so much more

Iv kept everything inside for too long
I need to tell him I'm not that strong 
I'm scared that if my barriers fall
His love for me will be no more 

How can I tell him how broken I am 
That my "strong independence" is all a scam
I know with him I can be the real me
But there lies the problem, I hate who I see

She did that, she wore me down
Never built me up, made me the clown
Never made to feel pretty, it was the outside that mattered 
How can he love me when my hearts in shatters 

I know he's scared, I see it on his face
I cant add on him my fall from grace
But I need him to know, I love him dear
And that losing him is my biggest fear

When he reads my verses I want him to see
That all I hide is how I hate to be me 
I know I am surrounded by love,  he is my home
But feelings are easier when written in a poem 

I love this man with all my heart
But im scared to show him my mind is so dark
Who would want to love someone so damaged?
But I'll tell him the truth to save our marriage 

In sickness and health, till death do us part
The vows we took forever in heart
So maybe I will let him see today,
The real me as I know he will stay 

I'm not alone and I know I'm loved
I trust him not to break my heart
The best part of me is him
Together forever, through thick and thin 

I hope he still loves me now iv let him in....
