I want love.
Not yours.
Nor his.
Not from my mother.
Nor from a miss.
I want a love only I can find,
One that truly is one of a kind.
A love that comes from within,
One that dosen't need to hide.
Not a love built from friendship,
Or one with hopeless yearning.
I need a love that keeps my heart turning,
One that makes me love the dip within my hip,
My slightly overgrown brow,
The split in my teeth,
And let's me breathe now.
I need a love that let's me embrace the woman in the mirror,
One that lets me see her clearer.
A love where she dosen't need to feel fright,
A love that leaves my soul bright.
Once I embrace the love,
The love of myself, for myself,
Then the love I need has found me --
Not waiting in another's hands
And no longer something I must chase,
Rather something that comes from quiet, patience, and self-embrace.
