Let Me Be

hide my scars from you
a kiss on the wrist
love cuts
im shy 

hide in you
hide in me
deep inside

waste your time
lie to you
again and again
die with you

i want to do what's right
i don't want to make you cry
i don't want to waste your time

how can you see love in me
i don't see what you see
please let me be

i promise
i'll be nice
i promise
i'll love you
i promise
i'll try my best to

Do not promise too much, lest there be nothing left of you... This is an interesting, serious work. Well done. Ann
