More ProofA Poem by GoldenOneA "sequel" poem to my other poem, Proof.
I want you to know I still see you,
but this time you really exist. The mystique and the daydreams have faded, like the sun clears away morning mist. Though now I honestly see you, my respect has only grown up. I detect not a trace of deception, you are one and the same to your core. You are a thinker, a reader, a dreamer, and wise years beyond your age. You are a God-lover, a servant, and leader, but quietly humble in your faith. But now that I know you, I want you-- and I wish that you saw me too. You make me ready to trust Jesus, You make me willing to try. I still can't breathe when you're near me, And I still can't even look in your eyes. Part of me fears that I've deceived you, and have let you believe in a lie. I am not a strong Christian, truth told. I have been lost in my head for a while. I'm trying, I promise to love Him, but I still crumple against the world's hold. I want you to see the real me, because I think we could be the real thing. When I did not know you, but saw you, All I did with the rest was compare. Here I am with a little hope for your affection, so unexpected and petrifying all at once. I wish more than anything I deserved it, but I refuse to pretend to someone like you. So here is my heart on a paper-- every piece; they are yours if you're willing. Whether you take them or leave them, Please know- You've made me a better girl already. © 2011 GoldenOne |
