Stardust Lost In Fallen Dreams

Learning Slowly

I won't change who I am for it is what I truly am

You say to me that I am all that you will ever want

I blush and say that you must be crazy to want me as I am

For there are breaks and crack in the veneer of my soul

I try not to but there are nights I cry myself to sleep

I then cry once more for the weakness of my mind

To me it is a failure that I show that side of me

and not the strength that others believe it to be

I am not perfect for you I know in my heart the truth

yet when I feel your eyes on my form I feel as I could fly

I am slowly learning that perfection is over-rated and it is the imperfection that creates a desire

I should never question your love for me but accept that it is true

That I am the one that makes your heart beat for I hold it in my hands safe every day

Would you hold it against me if I let the mask slip back on at times

I know you see through every façade but so many people don't see what you see

So within your arms I can relax and learn to be free

Pull me closer to you, let our hearts beat their song to the souls within

For I am who I am perfect in my imperfection in your eyes

I can do no more than smile into the sun

Sleep soundly in the moonlight

Love you with all that I can and receive your love in return

Learn that happiness and sorrow walk hand in hand

and that pleasurecomes with a shred of pain to make it truly powerful
