I want you
to think me beautiful and mesmerizing
drawn to me,
for I fill the holes in  your soul

I want you
to walk away from me before it's too late
for if you hurt me
the pain will burn your spirit

I want you
to want to keep me smiling
lulled into peace
by my gentle laughter

I want you
to see me as I see you
through the mask of shadows
basking in the truth of who I am

It scares me

how much

I want you
