Open Door
Michael W. Evans 1970 (US)
Unspeakable love, I woke to you only to see my life still blue. If I told you the truth, would you hear me clear, or should I continue to live in fear? Hiding myself from those who pretend, only to hurt again and again. Why should I try? All leave this place. Should I hope for some warm embrace? Not for me, only for some. My shame, my pain, this is no fun. Run away, push all far from me. This is the only place to be, safe and alone, longing for more. Why can't I walk through an open door? Move away from my past, no hold on me. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
By ME.
