Although he's cut
I try to stitch together the hurt in him
Without realizing that the blood on my hands
Is from the gaping wound in my side
And he's holding the knife

My hands cup your face
Like a lily pad catches droplets of water
That fall from the sky

I do not wish to be
Your whole world
Your everything

Stand on your own soil
Own your foundation
Love your precious world
That makes up
All the imperfectly perfect
Things that are
So incredibly
You

Love yourself
Before you ever love me

I give compassion
Unto the weak
And the meek
But not those who seek
To herald up their deceit

Kindness is giving
Another person your fire
Do not temper with the flame
Or it will go up in rage
A fire
That cannot be tamed

If you sit at a table where
Respect
Love
Compassion
And trust
Are not being served
Politely stand
Collect your plate
And leave

Do not dine
With pigs
Dressed in gentlemen's clothing

It is so dumb
This humdrum
That is so tiresome
Troublesome
Bothersome
Wearisome
I just want some...
Thing

In a masquerade ball
You were the only one
Not wearing a mask

I gave them fickle fables
Far from forging truths
Fair young women
With facades cast over
Their fear-filled eyes
As they realize
There is no fairy tail
For fabricated dreams
No Prince Charming
Will fall for them
It is the princess fallout
That happens to
All folly young women
