What do you see

When you look at me

What am I to you?

I see the art

That pours from your fingers

The talent

The potential

The love

You could spend your time

Admiring much better people

Yet

You chose me

Why me?

I'm horrible

I'm a life-draining

Worthless failure

I can't keep you safe

I can't keep anyone...safe

You look at my eyes like they are emeralds

At my face like it's a sky of stars

How do you see such amazing things

When all I see

Is a hollow shell

Filled with nothing
