In blink of an eye your demeanor turns around Within hurtful remarks self-esteem is drowned You have the power to make house feel like home With one blow ease is crushed like walls are made of styrofoam I long to seal emotions behind bars made of steel Wounds inflicted by tongue of man take too long to heal I want to be the person you view potential for In this room feel the opposite of all you adore By side I feel privileged being the partner you chose Pressure is weighing on the roof and steadily it grows Patiently waiting for me to evolve into the image you desire Continue striving for perfection but muscles are starting to tire Pause just a little longer so I can prove my worth Not only you but also myself Show purpose on earth For too many years I have convinced myself I'm not enough Inner voice whispering I'm ugly because my edges are rough I see you standing there I'm so glad to call you mine A distant star in space you warm skin with your shine I carry heart everywhere heavy as a stone Worrying I'll drop it and I'll be left alone I like how you are a gentleman Treat me so **** nice Your touch excited my nerves Thawing my armor of ice On top of body My problems fade away Long as we're connected I know everything will be okay Till I am on my deathbed about to meet the reapers touch Even then I'll have no fear of your hand is there to clutch I forever will do my very best to witness your handsome smile May not believe in God but discover myself praying you'll stay awhile To be cause of your happiness is what I yearn for the most Whenever we're apart haunt my cranium like a ghost From gods above to the devils below and all that lies between Your presence what provides color and vibrance to every single scene And the meaning I've unveiled since the second we first kissedΒ Β Resulted in realization you're an angel radiating endless comfort and bliss When I began writing poem I wrestled with a conflicted frustration Skepticism making it hard to understand your expectations To reach compromise each must learn how to slightly bend I'd don a mask for anyone else but for you refuse to pretend You're the only one able to disarm defenses I can't help but wonder what it will take to come to your senses I can only dismiss so much criticism before I snap and lose control Hate for you to dive in after to rescue me from that hole To put up with ups and downs I'm sure puts you through hell Hope my love also feels like a taste of heaven as well
