The Walk

Trying to really understand a lover.

The Walk

If I could walk a mile

In your shoes

Maybe I’d be able to understand you better

 

Your seeming passivity

To what life rolls your way

 

Your disinclination to speak your wants

To even acknowledge them to yourself

 

The brake that keeps your self-confidence

Hidden behind your curtain

 

The fears, the hurts, the pains, the scars

Unknown, but known to be

 

If I could walk a mile in your shoes

Maybe I’d be able to love you better

 

But I can’t walk in your shoes

They don't fit

 

Speak up

Let me hear you

Let me understand

So I can see you

You, you, you

So I can love you even more

So I can love you even better

[John the Baptist]

Sounds like low self esteem, fear and maybe depression. Something bad may have happened in the family of origin.
