If I Could See
By Rich Reith
If I could see inside your heart,
What emotions would I see?
Would I grasp all that you hide,
The secrets you still keep from me?
If I could see into your mind,
would past lives pain endure?
Would I see depths of pain and rage,
Over true loves forfeiture?
If I could live inside your soul,
if only for a day,
Would I feel secret passions boil,
that you've buried deep away?
After a fervent lifetime of search
I still know not who you are.
I only know the pain you've caused,
And can only sense your scars.
Who are you? You'll never tell.
Intimacy cringes in fear.
Had you looked inside my soul
You'd have known forgiveness was here.
Here to help you through the pain
Your image of yourself.
You feared the truth would set me free,
but my heart just ached to help.
If you had tried to sense what was in my heart
you'd have smiled, and cried.
But you never knew what true love is,
you never even tried.
If you had cared about my soul
my devotion, fidelity,
you'd have known to bare your soul
and permitted love to set you free.
