why do you love me?
i'm not pretty;
what do you see
that I am too blind to?

I am nothing;
nothing but dirt, ash and broken pieces
sad days and being beaten
down by words that have no meaning.

I am worthless;
no worth and no meaning,
not seeing
what the others see in me
helplessly lost in all of my feelings.

but you see something different
you see me in ways that I can not
I can never
but I can as long as we're together

maybe this time I won't hurt
or get hurt myself.
this time I can be me
I can be the one who everyone sees but me.
