Some days you still consume me
Somedays you still consume me
I no longer feel the touch
that haunted me
This is deep inside
where you twisted all the emotions
made it so my trust was so broken
No one else could ever have me
I would never be able to trust anyone again
And in that simple reality
I would always be yours
You would always have me
He gave me a story
He gave me a story
Something to believe
Something to make me feel special
Make me feel like we were destiny
But I had been told that story before
Different but the same
and told another version
Different but the same
And I so wanted to believe
And I can’t imagine any story to be true
Any story that involved being with me
So this time I walked away
I see my love
Close your eyes
Picture yourself
Tell me what you see
I see me
No, describe what you see
Me, short buzzed salt and pepper hair
weary eyes buried behind glasses
tense mouth framed by wrinkles
arms and legs with roadmaps of veins and arteries
middle and thighs heavy not yet fat
Still more broken than whole
He put his finger to my lips
Stop
I see your cute short hair
dark brown thoughtful eyes that mirror your soul
your huge smile that lights up your face
soft skin and curves
And a brilliant mind that is always searching and learning
I see a beautiful woman who is constantly growing
I see my love
