Would You See Me?

-If I removed every inch of my skin-

And tore every fiber of my being,

Would you see me?

-If you took off your rose colored glasses,

And looked deep into my soul, my green eyes,

Would you still see me?

-If I laid bare and nude,

In the middle of the ocean afloat-

Would you love me?

-If I stood in front of you,

Exposing all my inner demons,

Would you still love me?

-If I cried for you,

Showed you inside who I really am-

Would you see me?

-If I endeavored to move on,

And let go of the pain in my past-

Would you still see me?

-If I could touch your arms,

And remain your desire to feel calm and safe,

Would you love me?

-If I could remove my flaws,

Cut away the bad days-

Would you still love me?

-If I found the right words to say,

In times of desperate doubt and hardship-

Would you see me?

-If I dove head first,

And jumped from the highest mountain top,

Climbing every rock, finger's blistered,

Sweat dripping down my hot neck-

Only to reach out for you, and grab your broken hand...

Would you still love me?
