You

Who are you in there?
Too scared to show your face?
Where is it you're hiding? 
Wont you please show me the place?

I want and need to find you
See and feel the real you
Hold you when you cry as you
Tell me what you've been through

I look for you every day
As I look into your face
Hoping that your eyes will 
Lead me to your hiding place

But, you give nothing away
Your eyes shallow and cold
I wonder if what hides behind 
Them will ever unfold

Or will your feelings stay that way
Folded small and tight
Hidden in a secret place 
Forever out of sight?

Well, I can wait forever
If it should take that long
This is where I'm staying
Where I feel I belong
