World of Love

I don't want you to be some short term sex thing I don't even want you to be my best fling I want something real and you to be my girl for good I wanna erase your scars, and shower you with a world of love I've never been the best with emotions or showing how I feel I've pushed most people away and then I just deal But I want to pull you closer so I'm trying to be truthful Let you know all my flaws, and hope you still think my heart is beautiful I could hide it all, but I'd rather be honest and factual I'm bipolar so sometimes I act irrational If you see the good in me, we could have something magical The old me would of just wanted a one night stand, and called this poem laughable Could you love someone as troubled as me? If I promise to protect you, will you go through the struggle with me? I make mistakes and fall short I won't lie But you've captured my heart, and done more than caught my eye I'm a working progress, I'll never be a finished project I'm growing daily, and I haven't stopped yet When I'm weak I need you to be my strength Cause sometimes it's the princess who saves the prince

...I think we are all a "work in progress" to some degree or another...and if I'm not, I believe then, I will have stopped living and that bites :-) You write with such honest emotions that convey strength and vulnerability. the line: "The old me would have just wanted a one night stand, and called this poem laughable" is brilliant! ...and the last line...what a great ending! Superb writing Alex :-) it is a great pleasure to read. a fave, 7+ blessings, lynn
