I'M Not Perfect, But I Swear I'M Perfect For You

All your friends think that I’m crazy 
But they only see that I’m not perfect
I know 
I have my issues and only I’m to blame 
I’m not an angel
This I know better than anyone
But I swear
I will share the air that I breathe
I will give you my heart 

And I don’t feel like I’m strong enough 
I can’t walk this world alone
I need you 
My hopes, they are high
I’m not perfect
But I swear, I’m perfect for you

I’m trying real hard not to shake
I’m biting my tongue
So say my name
I just want to hear your voice 
And I wish that I had my arms around you 
But I’ll just keep dreaming instead

And there’s no guarantee that this will be easy 
I didn’t know I needed you 
And now I’m beating myself up just thinking of you 
I need a miracle
I need you to love me endlessly
But that’s impossible

I’m feeling alive with every breath I take
I’ve been struggling to make things right 
And letting you go was wrong
Now I spend another night alone
My skin is cold without your touch 

Every night I cry and die a little more each time
Knowing that I don’t have you 
Memories take me back 
It won’t ever go back to the way it was
And I wish that this time would ease the pain
And I know I’m not perfect
But I’m hoping that you’ll see me through
I’m hoping that I’ll have you 
I just want you to see
That I’m perfect for you

Jan Allison August 24, 2017 at 12:34 PM I feel chocked up reading your emotional poem so full of hurt and longing and I am sure others can relate to your words too Tatianna. It can take along time to trust and learn to love again :-( hugs jan xx Tatianna Leachet August 24, 2017 at 12:41 PM Thank you :) It does take time to trust and love again, but I know I'll get there sooner or later :)

He got sick and passed away. I still hurt from his cheating.Nice to meet you Tatianna. Darlene De Beaulieu April 17, 2017 at 1:14 PM You have expressed yourself well. Tatianna Leachet April 4, 2017 at 7:43 PM Nice to meet you too, I'm sorry about your husband. I am currently going through a break up right now, and this poem is me expressing how I feel without him.

Chris Green April 4, 2017 at 11:24 AM This is so sad and lonely feeling. It is a shame that they can't seem to see you are perfect for them, but someone will and before long you will understand how perfect it is to be with someone who finds you their perfect match. Nicely expressed feelings and emotions. Tatianna Leachet April 4, 2017 at 5:35 PM This feeling is very sad and lonely, but hopefully, time will heal it all.
