#182 I Refuse...

If I may,
Without saying I'm whining,
Share my heart,
Without thinking these words are lying.

Funny, It's now I shouldn't be able to express,
Even though these emotions are what pulled you to me.
So I'm offended when you say this part me should leave,
If my heart was absent, surely we wouldn't be.

For its my existence that drove you to my arms.
It's this existence that keeps you from harm.
Because I abort what my predecessors had birthed,
Distrust in a man who knows your worth.

And though you have your thoughts on setting me free,
No second guessing, you're where I want to be.
If your love was easy, it wouldn't garner my time,
Waiting this long for you, I prefer not to get out of line.

Because my eyes are open to what you will eventually see,
That in the end it will always be you and me.
I check myself when I hear you talk,
Like how you don't realize the beauty I see when you walk.

Saying these are the things a man like me would say,
Dismissing my sight, blind man for another day.
Nevertheless I lift up eyes to what's before me,
The most beautiful creation my soul could ever see.
