Honesty

I cut myself last night Playing with broken glass Trying to make myself whole again To see from a different angle Staring in the rearview mirror Driving in reverse, trying to go forward Looking to soothe doubt By touching the void Indulging insecurities The cold comfort of fear Testing my honesty Waiting for the axe to fall But you held onto me That scared little boy no-one liked Pulled him in close Let him cry Lifting us out of the tailspin With your gentle heart Telling your own story Showing your fears Another layer around us As we get deeper Stronger together Safer in our love
