Behind the layers

I speak to you with complete confidence
I’ve let your gentle words peel away the layers
I’m afraid to fall
A picture’s worth a thousand words
But touch is worth more
And if I can’t touch you,
I can’t.

If you really saw me
Knew me,
Spoke to me,
Held me,
Kissed me,
Would you be disappointed?
To know I’m not something special?

You have a unique quality that makes
My heart split and spill
All emotions, all feelings,
I’ve laid every thought to be examined
What is it that you see
That makes me worth your time?

Would you be able to except me
Along with all my faults
My troubles
My problems
My insecurities
Or would you slowly help me
Put the layers back on

I’m afraid to fall
But I’m falling dangerously fast
I’m close to bare
And I wonder
Will you be disappointed?

Will you be disappointed?
