Your Power

being near you is like trying to hold the sun in my fist
it cant be done
your light refuses to be hidden
you fear who you are and love who you are all at once

and i think i fear you too
because i could sink into the warmth of your eyes
and let you see all my worst parts

i could make a home in your broken heart
your abused heart
your wanting to be seen but never too clearly heart

you’ve forged armor from your hurt
and you wear it
like it was always meant to be there

you hold all the power
i think you’re scared of how powerful you could become
if you stopped hiding
if you let yourself feel what we could be together

do you know what its like to be consumed
to feel control in the moment you give it up
to lose yourself
and somehow become more whole

tell me you love me
tell me you’re mine and im yours
and i will lift you up put you where you belong
at the center of everything

i’d rather let fire consume us both
than watch you waste another second
on anything less than what you deserve

show me more of you
show me all of you
and i will burn the world down for you

its a lie
this game we play
but its a beautiful lie
we are both in control
both giving
both taking

no you
no me
only us
