Seen

They just see
My fragile form
My painted smile
My chiselled stare
They don't see me
I just see
My insecurities
My lack of ability
My immaturity
I don't see me

What could I know of love?
That isn't like me.

How could you
See beyond the masquerade?
How did you know
My tired game was all played out?
I wish you didn't have to see
THe mess I've made, but,
Welcome.
Come on in.
I want you to see me.

What do you know of love,
And can you show me?

I can see our future
Flash before my eyes
Like a wishful daydream,
I awaken, and surprise!
You're stil there
Strong and gentle
In the tender morning sunrise
You let me love you.

How can I show my love,
And what do you see?

You don't see my fragile form
My painted smile
My chiselled stare
You just see me...
