Your Project

I want to let you hold me
To see what I can become in your hands
If I'm just breakable
Or if I'm truly remakable
Could your touch make my imperfections
Into the perfect picture
And could I somehow be the inspiration
That you've been craving all along?

If I let you unravel me bit by bit
Would you find clarity in my fragments
Or would I be yet another case
Of a hopeless idea?
You make me curious to see
If I'm more than a conceptual notion
And if I could actually be something
That can be executed well

What if your fingertips hold the secret to my soul
And I slip right through them
Is it possible that when I land
I could fall back into you?
And if so what would I be then?
Just a collection of broken pieces?
Another mess for you to leave in the dark?
Or would you cleanly sculpt my heart?

Do you think my tear stained face is worthy of smiles
And do you think that I am enough to be loved?
Even though I come to you in shards of glass
Could you make me whole and beautiful?
Because I want to let you take all that I am
To see what you can make out of me
If you can rebuild me from the ground up
And proudly put me on display as yours

I'd love to tell the world how I've been drawn from your warmth
How you shined your light upon me
And made me into a sparkling ball of love
Helping me remember just who it is I was
Amateur artist maybe so
But one that I feel might actually know
How to depict my soul with accuracy
And expose all the patterns of me

If you squeezed me tightly I do wonder
If my heart would fly out of my chest
Heading straight for your loving arms
Only to be absorbed completely by your kiss
And when you speak would your words be lavished with affection for me
Laced with full exclusivity
Dripping with passion and conviction
Sealed by commitment that leaves your lips?

Do you know what I need?
Because I don't want to let you hold me unless
You don't plan to let me go anytime soon
I want to be more than some piece of work
I don't want to end up just like the rest
A started project never to be finished
Put back on the shelf until you remember
That I just wanted to be the one to love you
