revealing a pain

hes looking at me I can feel his eyes, it makes my skin burn, because he can tell the truth from my lies

begging me to speak, waiting not so paitienly, urging me to just let it out, but my heart was hurting me

not able to speak my voice box is frozen, I open my mouth, but the words are unspoken

just say it i think ,whats been on your mind ,tell him your not so confident ,come on now just try

I cant I weep to myself, but he continues lecturing me about myself

I want to tell so badly I do but afraid im not strong enough to

he takes my face ,looking me in the eyes,one last time asks me to say whats on my mind

my heart slows down, I dont notice my breathing,I know what I want to say but its too difficult repeating

I'll tell you I say ,face down in my bed ,casualy looking up, just to see if he's still intrested

a story was told of a painful history ,a story about a child who sometimes had a little too much to eat

I told the truth, repeated the docters words,along with the names given that wasn't nice to be heard

my 30 secends of strength is gone,tears fall from my eyes because im no longer bold

a silence fell,and so did my heart ,I was sure it was over ,time to begian a new start

then he said the something every person waits for, I love you baby forever Im yours
