Kindred

holding my world
tightly in my hands
keeping it close
not letting anyone in

protecting my ego
protecting my mind
protecting my heart
from those outside

if I let you in
could I get burned
would you crush my world
should you break my heart

a kindred spirit
is what you seem
you have the same thoughts
you have the same dreams

words that seem true
actions that seem real
making me think
making me feel

could you be what
i was looking for
will you rock my world
or implode what’s here

do I take a chance
or lock you out
believe in me
or believe in you
