Tell Me That You're Insecure

[floetryspades]

Tell me
that you're insecure
that you really feel the same,
but you're too afraid
to share what is locked
away

Tell me
that you're insecure
you care what other people think,
and that's why you're holding back
that is why you hide
from me

I won't have it any other way
that you're only afraid to say
what I know is deep inside you

Your feelings collect dust on a shelf
you won't share them with anyone else,
but a close friend, maybe a diary

Does your true reflection scare you
shake you, break you
shatter you into pieces
and do you need me to sweep you off the floor

I don't want to be alone anymore

So tell me
that you're insecure
that you really feel the same,
but you're too afraid
to share what is locked
away

Tell me
that you're insecure
you care what other people think,
and that's why you're holding back
that is why you hide
from me

But I will shelter you from the storm
I promise to keep you ... safe and warm
and I'll chase away the rain
like a fool ... trying to challenge a hurricane

So do you see me as uneasy; approach me,
share a verse with me, coerce me
you don't have to be afraid of me

Does the possibility of us scare you
shake you, break you
shatter you into pieces
and do you need me to sweep you off the floor

You don't have to be alone anymore

So tell me
that you're insecure
that you really feel the same
boy, you're too afraid
to share what is in your heart

Tell me
that you're insecure
you care what other people think
and that's why you're holding back
is this why you hide
from me

Or maybe I'm naive
that I can only experience you through fantasy
and somewhere along I got carried away
and thought you felt the same way

So that makes me
insecure
if you've always been honest
with me
and I'm searching deep in your soul
for something I'll never
ever find

So tell me ...
sweep me off the floor ...

because we don't ...

have to be alone ...

anymore ...

Floetry,

Yet another side of you...... straightforward ... and more vulnerable in a very uncomplicated voice/attitude. I feel like this a softer side....

"I don't want to be alone anymore"

.....that reveals a little tear in the heart, wanting to be mended with the greatest medicine anyone could receive .... love! ....

.... This could be sung too, as well as read or recited.... have you thought of using it as lyrics, Flo?

"So that makes me
insecure
if you've always been honest
with me
and I'm searching deep in your soul
for something I'll never
ever find"

...love you...take care...

Yeah, this one is a little revealing. It definately shows a softer side. BTW, it started off as a song.

Floetry

I felt the raw openness and honest appeal in your words

For some folks this is not an easy thing to reveal and it portrays the strength the speaker has in himself -

This is excellent ... full of raw emotion... felt every stanza.
