I'd like not for you to be

Sympathetic.

 

I'd like for you to tell me

Just how strong I look.

 

Although I have no muscles

Just how strong do I look?

 

With all my scars & my broken heart

She loves me still.

 

But she knows not of sadness.

 

I'd like for you to look at me

& just know,

 

Now that our eyes have met

I've made it this far.

 

All

For

You

 

So darling,

 

I'd like not for you to be

Sympathetic.

 

I'd like for you to tell me that I'm home now

So I don't have to bleed anymore.

 

I'd like that a lot.
