I see you, baby
With my eyes closed and my glasses off
I see your love, clearly.
Transparent...
You see through my facades
You see through the pain and trust issues
Your love defied my odds
First aid for my battered soul
A splint for my broken heart
You know just what to say to make me better
As if you have loving me down to an art
Our first date you saw my worst
didn't run didn't curse
You held me tight and sat me down
saying that my my health should come first
Your risked it all to be with me
From warm beds to cold floor
Made it work with what we had
even when we were piss poor
Too hemmed up on what "They" say
Or how I was raised or what should've been planned
I stopped listening long before you said
"That's just not who I am"
You run from me...
Leaving only traces of your presence
I feel lowly without my king
Like the most empoverished of peasants
Still your heart reaches out to mine
I feel it in your tone...
Even though the words that are coming out are
I just need some time alone
Not coming home?!
I'm demanding and impartient
maybe a little unwell
I didn't know my happy home
had become your personal hell.
While you lit my heart afire and breathed love into my existence
I killed your spirit speaking darkness unto you
making you feel like a misfit.
Enamoured with the thought of perfection
not realizing the truth
In trying to be the perfect adult,
I was stealing both of our youth
I bitched up
You were too close to the truth
That as much as you needed me
it wasn't even close to how much I needed you
Sometimes I need to hear you say it
I need to know you're there
I need to feel your arms around me
Yes, Darling... I'm scared.
Can I get another man, Indeed I'm never left stranded
But he won't be you... La Luz
The Light
The Love of my Understanding
