Scrape-Deep Beautiful

If you know who this is about, you'll know.

Close your eyes; 

See if you're blinking,

Winking over the bright,

Shiny white lights. 

Can you see them shine? 

You're like the sun,

Only brighter. 

I thought we were almost done, 

But I was born to be a fighter.

I'm alive, and you made me lighter. 

Can I shine just a shade brighter? 

I want to be your favorite.

I want to be the best mistake 

You've ever made. 

Darling, I want to be great. 

Remember my beautiful face

And how you made it break? 

How I used to (used to?) shake? 

I still find myself shivering now and then.

I've learned how to shatter, 

And how to pretend. 

Actresses? We're good at what we do. 

I'm unrehearsed, but here's a show

Just. For. You. 

You and I will write a symphony, 

In which I will steal the sympathy 

Of everyone, even your wife. 

You want more? Go ahead. 

Take my life. 

I don't need to smile.

I've never needed to see. 

It may sound like effort, 

But I still believe.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank your for the amazing poem. I like the strong and positive words of desire and love.
"I want to be your favorite.
I want to be the best mistake
You've ever made. "
I tell people. If we stay positive and desire to make our pardner happy. Life can be very good. A realistic ending to a excellent poem.
