Big Red Ribbon

Take this big red ribbon from my eyes,
unwrap the secrets I try to disguise.
It's a big surprise to hold your hand,
a fragile comfort, like grains of sand
slipping through fingers that reach for more
in a world that feels like a locked door.

A little lonely, here I sit for tea,
waiting for someone, but there's only me.
Open this moment, step outside—
so many reasons to run and hide.
The little things, they grow so near,
tiny fears that magnify, crystal clear.

Get over here, let’s stare through the holes
in the fabric of fate, where destiny pulls.
But that’s all you'll let me be,
a ghost of a dream that could never break free.
Don’t let my destiny be to worry,
to be swallowed whole by doubt’s flurry.

Love me here, in this moment so shy,
beneath this sky, where shadows lie.
I’m trying to see past the fear,
but all I want is for you to be near.
Take this ribbon, cut it loose—
let’s dance in the light, let’s choose.

Clear the holes where doubt seeps through,
where I stare too long and forget what's true.
For all I need is for you to see—
not the fears that bind,
but the love in me.

Take my hand, let’s step outside,
leave behind the urge to hide.
Love me, here, beneath this sky—
where the ribbons fall
and our spirits fly.
