To my Love
I first knew intimacy through you
What it was like to feel naked
I shared every thought, feeling and emotion in our touch
I didn’t always know how to speak
How to share the words my heart was too scared to put into existence
But that never mattered
You showed me beauty in pain
Because somehow every tear transformed into harmonies
Harmonies so sweet
You taught me how to express myself
I started to share what I felt
My fleshy wounds on display for people to view
And between the applause and the compliments
I learned that maybe I was capable of being courageous
Of sharing the parts of myself I keep locked behind a smile
Maybe even that I too could astonishing
But words and melodies
Don’t quite translate
So even the sweetest melodies disguised the bitter truth
But I think I’ll continue to display our love affair
Although we may just hold hands
It’s my little taste of brave
My little taste of freedom
