Under the Skin

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You're not like them;

your mind isn't focused on one thing.

 

You love me for more than how I look

and that's a first for me.

 

You've seen what's inside

and in spite of that, still love me.

 

And I, I don't even like myself,

not for what's under the skin.

 

And you've seen me implode;

you've lived my pain secondhand.

 

You try to help me through it,

but the hurt cuts deep.

 

You may love me for many reasons,

but I can't even think of one.
