Unexpected Journey 'Pardon Me Sir'
A request for a piece
On my feelings for you
The love that we share
And the journey we've been through
Anticipating perfection
Expecting gold from my pen
But instead growing frustrated
Waiting for material to pour in
In other words, I drew a blank
I mean, How do I feel?
It wasn't uncertainty that was
plaguing my mind
For I know that I love you
But the depth is undefined
How may I convey with words
These feelings inside
Without mushy cliches
Or old cheesy lines.
However for you
I'll give it a try
So without further adieu
For the love of mine
Pardon me, sir
Might your mind be dense
Are you blind to see
My walls of defense
My prison of protection
Preventing more hurt
Yet you seem to have slipped in
With a cookie and few words
Pardon me, sir
You must be confused
There's no vacancy for romance
Only intentions for abuse
Here still you stay
Unswayed by remarks
Determined and stubborn
To soften my heart
Offering no false pretense
And wearing no mask
Figuring you'd turn away
Once learning of my past.
Yet every conflict you combated
Every hardship you endured
No matter what went at you
You came back for more
Defeating darkness for my sake
Becoming my angel of war
Wearing down the numbness
That burdened my core
Formed through friendship
Then driven by lust
Molded through honesty
And guided with trust
You entered my world
Threw me off guard
Before even realizing it
I fell for you, hard.
Now here, time past
And feelings of mine change
Once doubting, now confident
That you made your choice to stay
Now one more thing left to say
Before I let this finally end
Something else about this piece
That I feel you should comprehend
The change of pace is undesired
But it represents my love for you
Unexpected, Unpredictable
But always holding true
Managing to fall in line
Becoming one masterpiece
A perfect fit, you and I
And may it never cease
So maybe it's not gold
Or worth an honorable mention
But still, I hope you like it
Even if failing to meet perfection
Perhaps there'll be a day
When I'll write one much better
After all, we have eternity
To write this story together
