Real Talk: Let Your Guard Down

What to do
What to do
He says all the right things
His actions speak volumes
What else could I want
Why is it so easy
To judge and not commit
Stay protected
Wrapped up safe
In the scars from past mistakes
And believed deceit
I pretend I hate
Thinking back to those hard times
Feeling loved in those past times
Knowing real
Now vision corrected
Hindsights a bitch
Pass the message
I see the new going in loves direction
Looking back for my acceptance
Weighed down
Thinking I need more protection
From the pain I’m sure he’ll cause
But the evidence is less than sufficient
I’m healed but holding on to those scars
As if I need proof that a battle was lost
He’s telling me he loves my flaws
He swears he’s breaking down those walls
Minute by minute I know his plan is lost
It’s up to me to open my heart
This love thing takes two
I’m sure he’ll know where to start
