Transparency

I never want to keep from you
What dwells within my heart—
To never hide my thoughts from you,
And leave you in the dark

I should have never spared your eyes
The anguish felt within my soul,
For fear the pain would be too much,
And break the heart that once was whole

I want to be transparent now,
And open doors that I had closed,
So I can share my joy and pain—
My happiness and all my woes.
