settle

 I am running around with my head in the clouds.
 My feet sinking into the ground.
 Someone is pulling me out of the darkness.
 Where for a long while my home has been.
 Cant say it's love.
 But i know it's happiness.
 It' s the greatest breathlessness. 
 It's pulse racing, heart stopping.
 It's being just me.
 Darkness still grabs me,
 Reminding me why I'm not worth love. 
 Reminding me of secrets I'm afraid to tell.
 But how can I not be happy.
 Just the thought of you puts a smile on my face.
 The thought of being in your arms,
 Makes my pulse race.
 The thought of a kiss,
 Leaves me breathless.
 The possibility of looking into your eyes,
 Make my heart stop.
 And that voice so strong, and so soothing.
 I know it might not be love.
 But it is something strong. 
 Making me feel like I'm worth it.
 And as you read this i hope you know,
 To me you are the only light on a moonless night,
 Pulling me out of the darkness.
 You are worth having everything you want.
 You deserve better than what you have had,
 And better then me.
 But i still hope with all my heart,
 You settle for me.

Sounds like the soul's cry

Sounds like the soul's cry for worthiness, very explicitly felt.

 

 Love never settles...it is ever-growing, even after changing course. (but of course, that is just my own experiences with it.)

 

I love your poems. Awesome!


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
