What do you hide
beneath that smile?
I feel like you have answers
to some of my questions.
Will you strip off your thoughts
one after the other
to let me inside your mind?
Talk to me tonight
about my insecurities
and my darkest of fears.
Say things that scare me.
For I know you'll catch me
after pushing me down
the cliff of my mind
to make me feel dead
and alive at the same time.
Hey ! Do you care
about any compliments?
Or do you already know
that you're more than
just a pretty face?
Talk to me tonight or
until the sunlight peeps
through the gap in the window
to watch you beautifully unravel
the secrets of the universe
that you carry
inside your mind.
