Naked

I stripped the layers to my soul
and stood naked infront of you exposed
so you could see all of me
my lies my truths my vulernabilities
but you couldnt handle all of me
just like those ive shown before you
so I dressed my soul back up 
and ill never again let you see
all that is to me
I shut my self down 
from pure honesty
now,you'll only see 
the censored me
Never again 
will you ever see
the real me
youll only see 
what everyone else sees
cause we lost that 
intimacy
