Bring the Best In Me
All my ardent desires
lie in her protective hands:
life, future, worthiness,
values, trust, and happiness;
may my soulmate be
practical in severe judgment,
and understand that
the strongest man can be
can be made weak by defeat!
Bring the best in me
without expecting miracles,
without exceeding your anger
in swift misunderstandings;
listen attentively and don't miss
specific needs fulfilling them hastily...
when my fidelity strays and misleads!
We spend days planning
our tomorrow with true enthusiasm,
taking out the bitterness
of hurtful thoughts that often interfere
with the idealistic dreams
that shouldn't be a delusive prism...
reflecting inaccurate and alluring
images of what we actually are!
Bring the best in me
by strengthening the weakness I show
through infidelity with deceitful words
that hide the ugliest truth;
whatever you deny me
turns into caresses that won't smooth
your obsessive doubts,
but create deep wounds
while fears outgrow!
