Do you love me

I can't stop myself from asking do you love me
                Do you see the beauty underneath my skin
The colors swirling dancing motes of stardust,

They told me I was ugly
and they made me beleive
and every day I fight the battle
to just be me

I can't  stop myself from asking do you love me
in a million little ways
reaching for affection
like fruit
I can't help it

I'm sorry that you must sew up my wounds
You've told me a million times  you love me
you've held my hands and wiped my tears
but stilll I feel im not enough
how could you understand my fear...

it's not the fear that you will leave
I know ide be ok
it's a different kind of fear I guess
one I can't explain
