Golden Elegance - Whispers To The Jewel

cut my sleeves

words that last a lifetime.
when you say "you're a good guy"
puts immense faith in myself,
and even if i don't show it
i'm jumping inside

as i know you want me to achieve
all that i can in this world,
this inner strength that you see inside me,
i don't know how you see this
as all i see is the continuous flow of blood,
dripping from the slashed up bruises
that are protected
from the outside world to see

a few words from you...stop me.
from allowing myself to cut my sleeves,
ones that have been hiding from time
as i don't want you to worry
of when my last goodbye will be

and i always hide this side of me,
as i can't allow you to see me crying again,
or for you to see my weak side.
i regularly question myself,
how am i meant to take care of you
if i have nowhere to confide

...you've been a dream to meet
and i'm proud to be
one of people you've seen,
and yes you've seen me cry,
and yes you've seen me weep,
but i never showed you any
of those wounds that are dug right deep.

and whether you know it or not
you've been a person in my life
who's shown me life is not worth losing,
not worth losing...at any cost.
you've been helping me on a journey
to take my heart to being guided
from the place that it was lost

so i thank you from
the deepest part of my heart,
as from that time it happened,
i place my hand on my chest every night
and listen to beats inside,
take a deep breath as i let the tears drop
and remember the one person
who didn't allow it to stop
