Sometimes the best way you can show someone you love them is by having complete trust in that person.

Trust In His Arms 

In the days of darkness 

there's a light only I can see. 

It's a beautiful, 

bright beacon. 

Full of promise, 

and burns just for me. 

I step toward it. 

The old fears grip me tight. 

Try to pull away, 

but the comfort of pain 

also hides my shame. 

~ 

Storm clouds reside 

where sunlight wants to shine. 

Tread bare masks doesn't cover 

what he already sees. 

Make-up slips and slides 

revealing the true beauty from within. 

Hidden things can't hide 

when he can see them coming 

from a mile away. 

Branches are leafless 

the tops are bare. 

No place to run, 

no where to hide. 

What you think is refuge 

is simply thin air. 

~ 

To open myself up 

exposes everything. 

I have to let go of the abuse, 

turn loose of the pain. 

Can't hide behind 

self condemnation. 

Can't flee 

from the ideas of failure. 

What would I become?
