Confide
He always told her she could confide
in him, though she didn't believe
that anyone could handle what she really is
and the darkness she holds within.
She was scared that she'd someday
open up and end it in self ruth
for he'd know the good image she made
was not the entire truth.
Inside her heart she held demons
which ate her soul from inside out
and though she knew he loved her, still
he'd fail to understand, no doubt
And no matter how many times
he convinces her to confide,
she'd say she would and then
swiftly sweep it aside.
One night under the moonlit sky
as she stared into his deep red eyes
she couldn't hold it any longer
and broke the veil of all her lies.
All that was left now
was for him to let go,
However, her hand still lay
soundly on his own.
"How do you feel about me now?"
"Just the same way"
"So, nothing has changed?"
"Nope, not a thing"
"How could you not disgust me after that?"
"Well..
Hand over all your sins to me
cause I love you for who you are
it wouldn't matter what you hold within
for you are mine now, star.
And you've come to the right place, love
it seems, the issue is skill
cause your little demons hold no candle
to my devil."
