if you knew

Wed, 01/07/2015 - 01:06 -- LWB™

I like you, but I won't let it show.
Those innocent eyes, that devilish smile
I see why everyone falls for you
But I know something they don't know
I see your brokenness
They see your style
I see your scars
They see your mask
I see your imperfections
They see your tits and ass
I see the real you
They see fake you
I like your insecurities
That's why when I see you
I see perfection
If you only knew how I really felt
You would fall in my arms and melt
I don't understand why you settle for less
I know I'm far better
Your every want or need would be no more
I know you can tell that he's only a bore
You make yourself believe you're happy
You been treated like shit so much
You forgot how it felt
A real kiss, one coming from love
You can't tell the difference
You're used to lust, and that's fucked up
I wish I could tell you these feelings
But instead I put them on pen and paper
Knowing you'll never read them.
