Why Does Everybody Run?

If I said "I love you."

Would you run away?

Screaming at my imperfect body

Ranting about my wavering smile

Yelling at my teary eyes?

Yes, you would.

And then you would come back

Contently holding another girls hand

Praising her perfect body

Rambling about her strong smile

Staring into her bright eyes

And me?

I would still have my imperfect body

And wavering smile

And teary eyes

Just with a slightly more

Broken Heart.
