Coming clean vol.1

We're bodies,
laying under cold sheets at night.
And still we're bodies,
when we cover each other, out of sight.
Your touch on my skin I sense,
but I can't feel.

Stare into my eyes as I pretend to sleep,
that inquisitive look, 
one I've yet to see again.
How has it happened and how can it be undone,
what your brothers have done unto one,
Just let me caress your face.

Can you make it through the gate?
It's been closing for some time,
thought I'd see you here, thought you'd be..
Holding my heart in your grasp, bleeding,
but it's so safe there, I know..
The blood is yours.

One day these sheets won't be cold,
I might come home to an honest smile, I'm told.
Your arms a refuge, the only fortress I'll need.
I may leave my shield by the door,
I may hang my sword above our bed,
All I need from you, you already know.

And when you wake me up at night,
take me upon journeys to places I've never been,
don't be scared to see me cry..
Those tears are shed because of you.
The pain you release me from, help me forget,
help me heal until there's nothing to regret.
