Out In the Open

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

My heart lays out in the open
For all of you to see
The wretched lies I tell myself to keep it beating
I've waited here long enough
To tell you that I want some more
Some more of your love
Some more of your needing
     Wanting
          Craving
You always got through to me
No matter how much I pushed and shoved for you to leave me alone
You sat me there, tied up my wrists
Yelled you're love for me til your voice turned raw
Calling me blind
     Naive
          Too young to even realise
What I had and what I could get
You stopped me from pulling the trigger
Downing every drug I could find to ease the pain
Drinking my life away 
You showed me the true meaning behind love
Taught me how to open up
     How to trust
          How to be myself
And now you you've confessed your true feelings
You love me even more 
But you're scared now 
Because I'm not the one you hold
She is.
