I'm so emotionally distant
from all these people that
think I'm discussing, but
these conversations are all
one-sided, so much so that
it's disgusting.
I won't share a single thing
about myself, I'm
so private, but
if you were the one asking,
I'd tell you a secret,
wouldn't hide it.
So deeply personal that you
would not believe it,
but in my mind
that's the definition of
a secret.
I'm wrapped up in my head
and won't let a person in, but
if you stood there knocking,
I'd give you all the passes.
And if I knew you
wouldn't say stuff
to a single living soul,
I would trust you with the
burdens of the things
I've never told.
I would tell you anything,
everything there is to know.
If you said you really cared,
I would give you me whole.
I would give you the answers
to the questions never asked, and
I would even write my story
if you'd read the pages
first to last.
