Tell Me Your Secrets

Tell Me Your Secrets
I’ll tell you mine
let me under your skin
like you’re under mine
I can’t sleep with secrets left to devine
tell me your secrets
I’ll tell you mine

What are you dreaming
Maybe we’re dreaming the same  
hidden in shadow 
lies great shame
restless dreams
not yet tamed

Unburden your heart
let loose the chains
secrets buried
breed pain 
nothing risked
nothing gained 


Tell me your secrets
 the deep dark kind
whisper yours
I’ll relinquish mine
misery and mystery wilt
when true love shines
tell me your secrets
