How can you let doubt lead you the way you do?
How can a man so spectacular in so many ways feel so inadequate?
I know my attempts to enlighten you to your own greatness fall on deaf ears
I know you believe I see you through love’s eye so my view is skewed You forget that I haven’t always loved you, But I have always thought you a great man
You’ve broken my heart into a thousand different pieces, in a thousand different ways Each time I wonder if this will be the last It isn’t; Somehow I always manage to forgive you
You collect hearts the way others collect shells Shiny hearts full of love you are too scared to return Holding them to your ear to admire the way they admire you Then back on display until your ego needs another stroke There my heart sits in your display case, dripping love and devotion Among the other trophies, stolen by the heart collector
I know better I just ache for it so deeply I am willing to risk my sanity
