fragile

 
waiting for you losing time
keen and fragile
in my vulnerability

your potency frightens me
in my need, I approach you
but I can't open my soul
and let you in

sacred and scarred
inside the desperate ache
my brittle feelings form beauty

I would love to show you my grace
but when I come near
my awkwardness shines the brightest
you relieve me by loving this side of me

your brilliance captivates
but the truth of the matter is no one would get us
you might ever say to hell with them
but I know the truth it would be a problem

I never want that for you
beautiful man with a loving soul
Shine your light in the world
everyone needs a lead man

I'm madly kissing your desire for me
that you think you could care is enough for me
within my solemn, I know I am adored
even on the days you hate me
