PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Trying to be perfect, to be the one he needs,

Overcoming all my fears, planting little seeds,

Seeds of life and love, ones I never thought I'd bear,

Just because he loves me, Just because he's there,

Raising my head a little, to see his gentle blue skies,

Watching him smile at me, my reflection in his eyes,

I see a little girl now, frowning back at me,

No longer his sweet chorus, just an empty melody,

So take away my halo, I don't need it anymore,

I am not perfection, I'm ground down to my core,

Eyes weary, red and sore, these tears bittersweet,

I don't deserve this happiness, my self hatred I do meet,

Trying to be his everything, but failing time and time again,

Falling through those skies of his, I'll never be the same,

I want to be his angel, his happiness and pride,

But take away my halo, I'll let my sorrow be my guide.
