Doubts

I know you,

I know who you are,

But there's that one little doubt

That I just can't shake.

I've seen who's inside,

I've seen who's outside,

But one doubt says neither of those are you.

Why won't you show me

The one who's deep inside

Trapped,

Wishing to come out

And see the world?

Why can't you decide

Who to be

And when to be it?

Why won't you chase these merciless fears away?

Please tell me why,

Give me a reason,

Give me a sign,

That you're still listening,

Still breathing

Still caring.

These doubts have burrowed far too deep,

Too deep for me to shake

But one thing's for certain,

And that's how I love you.
