Fractured

Your effortless intelligence,
Thoughts so deep, your words never impetuous.
I've longed to possess the mental peace you own.
To heal this fractured psyche
might be an encumbrance to you...
Keep your love & calmness towards my shortcomings;
I will adhere to your wisdom.

For your intellect is what i envy
And strive to have flow,
Instinctively,
through my brain.

Patience will reveal the basis of your endowment of insight.
My ally in the feat of my own worst enemy!

Fate has entered you in my life,
Purposely,
For you are the force that i lack,
the pith that i require...

To look myself in the eye.
