Too good to be true

by Lexiemae   Dec 9, 2006


You can't be this perfect
your still just a man
I've learned not to trust
as much as I can

A man is not perfect
what a facade
we are taught wrong as children
what a myriad

Why should I trust you?
men are all vain
they can't love you back
and they only cause pain

But you seem so much kinder
than the men I once knew
you seem to love me and
I know I love you

But I can't let you get me
you can't fill this hole
to destroy what's left
of my battered, torn soul

though you do fill this void
that scares me to death
I feel you flow through me
and I can't catch my breath

There's too much at risk
I could lose all of me
You've got me so wrapped
how could this be?

Why do you love me?
what's so wrong with you
why are you blind?
..if only you knew

Testing is fine
I thought of a way
I'll tell you the truth and
see if you stay

My untold secrets
are yours to behold
my diary's the key
to why I'm so cold

I know you will do it
you'll just run away
and I can keep my heart safe
from the games men play

What are you doing?
Why are you here?
You love me for me?
That's too hard to bear

How could you love me
after all that I've done?
you looked right at me
and said "you are the one"

Your actions don't make you
your soul does not change
I see you for you
and I love you the same

When you pointed at me
you mouthed-I love you
I could feel that you meant it
......I love you too

    Stunning.... absolutely most beautiful

    I'm better off for having known you -
    Your heart has forever been true
    and all this while, I've always loved you
    ...for you

    You've told me your past
    secrets buried deep, scars that last

    I've got those too! They corrupt my soul
    but its heavy weight all washes away
    with the warmth in your eyes and the inner beauty that you hold

    Words can't describe
    how I feel about you.
    All I can say is,
    that I deeply love you

    I miss you
