Fragile Handle With Care
I'm just being honest
I think you're the best
your one of a kind
so much different than the rest
what you see as flaws
is what I love about you
you do not compete
or deplete me
you don't keep score
you're not always trying to beat me
I've had this fantasy
this picture I painted of the pearl
who would be my best friend
who would let me into their world
I'm tired of sex, I'm aching for love
I'm soaring high, searching for my turtle dove
someone who understands me
and allows me in,
someone who will accept my past and forgive my sins
I can tell you've been through the ringer,
I have too
but we came out cleaner
than before we went through.
My heart is broken and so is yours
scattered in pieces all over the floors
afraid to sweep afraid to move one bit
for if you attempt to put it back together
it may not all fit
the pieces are not labeled so you don't know what you are missing
maybe in disguise its demise is a blessing
all you know is what you feel,
you ache for that missing piece
because without it you are not whole
not quite a masterpiece
you could search up and down
but the piece is nowhere to be found
you know where it belongs, it belongs in the center
the focal point of the picture
the reason that you enter
I vow I’ll never forget to remember
to always be your hearts defender.
