I think I'm looking to you, To save me from Myself. I think I'm needing you to Believe in me, Because right now I just can't. I think I need you to Care about me, Because I need to know That someone can Love me. My eyes speak in the quiet silence, Between whispered prayers And unspoken secrets. For a thousand reasons I'm falling, And I can't seem to find Solid ground. And I'm much too proud to ask The questions exploding In my mind-- I wonder what you think Of me, I wonder what you see In me, And I wonder what you feel For me. You see the beauty that eyes Can behold, Like a delicate rose Found amid winter's descent, But I don't think that's all you see, For the color of red roses fade, And yet a soul of rose Is nothing less than an eternal Spring kissed bloom. You see both of the flowers As well as the thorns, But I wonder-- Would you reach out to me If it meant that you might Prick a finger And bleed? |
