Lover, just a word
could ease the pain
of my confusion.
Lover, just a laugh,
release the shadow
from my soul.
Lover, should
I see your face,
my song would be ignited.
This heart is bare,
these lyrics nude.
O Lover, won't you
speak... the truth?

these lyrics nude.
O Lover, won't you
speak... the truth?"
I've been pondering how songwriters expose what many of us feel on the inside - they have the courage and skill to put into words and melody - sharing the vulnerability of our hearts.
