A Poem by Sarahthirk

Worthy

Verse:
As you held me, I made a pool of water on your satin shirt
As you hugged me, you just listened, didn’t dare to utter a word
And as I poured out everything from the outskirts of my heart
I felt your eyes say “Honey, you’ve finally let down your guard”

Pre-chorus
I guess I never understood before that Wednesday night
How much you could love

Chorus:
You weren’t worthy of my love, I never thought you knew where I was coming from
You’ve never been in the cages I’ve been, you’ve never felt the rejection I’ve felt
But as your hand stroked up and down my back, as you tried to make me forget
I realized you know who I am, you know what I need, and you’ve seen what I’ve seen

Verse:
When you asked “what’s wrong?”, I realized you heard the cries inside before they showed themselves
All of a sudden, my heart opened up and let out its lava
It’s like you took the cap off of the bottle of my sorrow
The next night you said “I’ll be here every tomorrow”

Pre-chorus:
Before that Wednesday night, I guess I was blind
To how much you could see in me

You weren’t worthy of my love, I never thought you knew where I was coming from
You’ve never been in the cages I’ve been, you’ve never felt the rejection I’ve felt
But as your hand stroked up and down my back, as you tried to make me forget
I realized you know who I am, you know what I need, and you’ve seen what I’ve seen

Bridge:
And I can’t believe it took me that long to realize
All this time, you were right in front of my eyes
If I’d just asked you’d take my hand and follow me

Chorus:
You weren’t worthy of my love, I never thought you knew where I was coming from
You’ve never been in the cages I’ve been, you’ve never felt the rejection I’ve felt
But as your hand stroked up and down my back, as you tried to make me forget
I realized you know who I am, you know what I need, and you’ve seen what I’ve seen

Oh, you’ve seen what I’ve seen
You can empathize, I can see your eyes say, “I love you.”
