The pain
It comes and goes
A startled shame
That nobody knows

Thunder breaks open.
Through the gap,an insane rain;
Killing in cold flood.

As I look into her eyes
I see endless skies
I see the definition of infinity,

As I watch her energy
I see the possibilities
I see not the end but the beginning,

As I see her soul move with grace
I see her life moving at her pace
She has the definition of potential,

As I see her look into the mirror
I see in her eyes rejection and doubt

As she looks into the eyes of society
She sees a ugly fat person who'd be better off dead,
But what she doesn't know is that she has the looks of a queen, the personality of a comedian, and the strength of a worrior,

Woman be not afraid to be your self and let your potential come out,
Woman be brave,
Woman open your eyes!

As the dust settles on our whirlwind adventure
I can collect my thoughts with full composure
After months of courtship, what is the conclusion?
A flame has been lit, and thats no illusion

We’re left in a rut, an unfortunate place
If you call it off, I’d leave you with grace
The one thing I ask is that you tell me the truth
I suspect you have fallen, just give me the proof

I won’t sit around if you’re playing a game
If you were in my place, you’d do the same
No matter how difficult it may be to say
I wouldn’t begrudge you, if you called it a day

I opened up to you, its all or nothing
You’d have to admit, at least we had something
You’re protecting yourself, and so am I
I think you’ll agree, I’m not just another guy

You can’t pick and choose, what it is you get from me
I’m here for the long haul, thats my guarantee
I’ve asked you before, what causes a concern
For me it was the challenge, of your trust that I’d earn

I know who I am, I don’t seek validation
So I leave you with this, last declaration
Accept who I am, don’t challenge my aims
Now let me in, if you feel the same.

open to you
it's hurting me
where to next
who to trust
vulnerability killed me
