He brushed back my hair,
And looked beyond my eyes,
He forgot my smile,
And took a look inside.
Little by little, day by day,
He found his way to my hiding place,
Somewhere no one else
Had ever cared to go.
Without any armour
He demanded the key,
To painful secrets,
Desires and dreams.
He asked for it all
The good and the bad,
What makes me happy,
What makes me sad.
Without any warning
My door tumbled down
And out came the woman,
Who lived inside.
He watered my dreams
With a pail of old tears,
Shared my desires,
And mixed them with his.
My secrets he tore
Into shreds that day,
And tossed them to the wind
To be carried away.
I've never replaced
That broken old door,
Because I don't live there anymore,
I live in him, he lives in me,
He cared enough to turn the key,
He loved the woman inside of me.
