Revealing All Of Me Poem by Angel Marie

Sitting side by side, your hand I take in mine
Trembling, I begin...eyes glistening with tears
This may come as quite a surprise...
So well I've kept it hidden all these years

I'm really not the girl
I've always pretended to be
There's an emptiness that aches inside my soul
A dark feeling that never leaves

Smile and make it believable
Laugh when the time is right
I learned to stand making small talk
When all I really want is to curl up and die

Here we stand now, face to face
I've no more strength to hide the pain
All of me, reaching out to you...
Catch me, hold, me, love me...til' I'm well again
