Killin' That Tie

I see you in the black suit, but I wonder if that’s who you really are. No need to fix anything. Give me your truth, your rawness, and your heart. I’ll love you for all of it.

You don’t have to speak a word.

I see it in your eyes—

The weight you carry.

The world on your shoulders.

The protector, the provider,

The one who wears the guise,

But I wonder if that’s who you really are,

Or just the person you’ve learned to be.

I need you to know,

It’s okay to let the walls come down.

You don’t always have to be the strong one.

I’m here for the parts of you that are broken,

The parts you’re scared to show.

I see the silent battles you fight,

The moments when you feel unseen.

Like you’re holding everyone else up,

But no one is holding you.

Let me hold you.

Let me be the place where you can lay your burdens down.

No shields, no barriers,

No pride to hide behind.

Just you.

Just me.

Just us.

You don’t have to fix everything.

I’m not asking for your strength.

Just your truth.

Just your rawness.

Just your heart.

You're not weak for needing me.

You're human.

And that's enough.

I’ll never ask you to carry it all.

I’ll take some of that weight.

And I’ll love you for every part of you.

Not just the man who stands tall,

But the one who sometimes needs someone to stand for him too.

In the silence, I hear you.

In the quiet, I’m here.

You don’t have to say a word.

I will love you, in every unspoken moment.

Let me take off that tie,

And see you for who you truly are.
