Show me your true name, the one you can't disguise,

That no-one can pronounce but is written in your eyes,

The one that hides in plain sight in your averted gaze,

The one you keep from passers by and save for he who stays,

Please show me that name, that's carved upon your soul,

For I that know the half of you would like to know the whole,

Let me see it naked, with all it's fragile hopes and fears,

I'll cherish every part of it, its promises and tears,

Let me see your true name, as I have shown you mine,

The one that's carved upon your soul by the hand of time,

The one that lives beneath the distant, casual disguise,

The one that no-one can pronounce, that's written in your eyes.
