be real with me, be with me...

strip away the facade...
baby, you don't have to play games...
be real with me...
open your world to me...
this pain you carry ain't my load to bear...
shouldn't be yours either...
let go, let go and breathe...
i'll take care of you.
it's a trip how clouded our pain
can make skies we have yet to wake up to...
past hurts we drag into our future...
we mess up potential joy before
we have a chance to welcome
that smile,
that touch,
that soft kiss...
the games we play to avoid what once was...
we lose ourselves trying to make up rules as we go along...
God, let it go, be real with me...
be real with yourself...
then and only then,
can you be with me...
