Love yourself, again


I see you shed those treacherous tears

those bloodshot eyes scream in pain,

you think it's tough to erase these fears

but I know you'll stand back up again.


I hear you whisper apologies tonight

those trembling lips quiver in strain,

you think your love won't shine so bright

but I know you'll love back fiercely again.


I feel your body tremble like leaves

those dry skin cells reaching out in vain,

you think your touch cannot deceive

but I know you'll smile back wider again.


I let you taste your lingering defeat

those sweat beads run down like a train,

you think it's hard to enjoy this treat

but I know you'll sigh in relief again.


I think you are beyond perfection

those scars are signs of soldiers slain,

don't worry, for I am your reflection

and I know you will love yourself again.
