Introduction

I wish your soul could feel me. I long for you to love the real me.

Come to me and close your eyes. Strip me down - undress the lies.

Just my flesh left on the bed and the story in my head.

Kiss my face to stop the tears. Listen now with patient ears.

Inhale - Exhale; rise then fall… give and take inside us all.

Lay your head upon my breast. My heart beats different than the rest.

Can you feel me? It's time I tell my story.
