So much I yearn to tell you,
So much is tucked away,
Hidden in my heart.
I need you to know
My heart is strong and true.
I need you to know
What I cannot tell you.
The years of my past,
The souls gone by,
All have left a mark.
Some have left a scar.
It's these prideful,
Toughened, cold scars
That keep my heart prisoner.
I need you to know
That my soul still soars,
And my heart still sings,
And your presence in my life,
Its value, its emotional impact,
Its truth
Is indeed within.
