i break the ice
so they dont see how i break inside
i have to be kind
or they'll make fun of my size
i get told I'm to loud
and i have to keep busy
I'm sorry if i don't respond please don't forget me

i let them keep me around
so there flaws just seem silly
i say I'm okay
or they wont listen to what i need to say
i get told I'm not pretty
and i refuse to be to proud
I'm sorry if i think i sing well when you cant

i love you
not for what you have
but for how you make me feel
your the stuck i my head
your face replaying in the forefront of my memory
your smile stuck in my head

i love you
not for what you have
but for the warmth you bring me
your every touch
lighting my entire body on fire
you love sticking to my bones

she is the moon shining bright
but she is only bright thanks to him
for he must first exist for her to truly shine
he is not the sun
no he's far from that
his job is far more important than simply burning for her
he does burn for her in a different sense
for he is the darkness that surrounds her
holding her
loving her
making sure shes all the brighter in his arms

when i first met you
the world had beat me so far down
i was all the way at the bottom
id given up on climbing back out
then you saw me and excepted everything
even my past
now everything's brighter
i thank you for that

all i do is think about you
and every little thing i love
like the way your eyes crinkle when you smile
like the way you look at me when I'm being annoying
like the way u can play any instrument you pick up
like how you brighten every room you walk in
just to list a few
i don't know how I'm the only girl inside your head
but I'm never going to let you get me out of it
Melanie Jackson Mar 2022
feels like its been a thousand years
when I'm with you i was away my fears
i wish i could say it out loud
but i cant tell you how close
we've gotten in these past two months
because words cant explain my love for you
no simile could compare the way i love you
no exaggeration expresses enough
i love you with every cell in my body
I'm so proud of all you do
all you've been through
I'm so lucky you want me
