Though I conceal my deepest emotions
from those around me
I can not do so from you
I have tried
you would not believe how hard
to deny how I feel
it is not easy to leave behind
to forget like I have before
you do not know this part of me
how hard it is for me
to trust,to believe
yet you make me believe
the very moment
I am willing to give up on you
you are there
by some miracle produced
the cold,determined child-woman
is fading slowly
leaving something changed
your kiss opened what no other could
you hold the key to my soul
the chain that holds me here
is there in your hands
I never wished for this
the independence I cherished
is now gone
I gladly gave it up
the first time you kissed me
