Fighting for a Goddess (Posted 4/20/2017)

you found me shattered and alone  
so much hope you give to me  
take my life and take my soul  
I don’t need them when they’re broke  
heal me with those words you speak  
you’re no devil, a god damn angel  
ah body of a goddess
and the mind of the world  
 
everyone wants you  
but I’m just a mortal man  
I have nothing to give  
only my heart  
maybe with a hug I can win you over  
or just a kiss to show how much I care  
feeling like I’m looking desperate  
a damn fool in front of a flawless being  
 
you cry to me one day  
“what’s wrong?”  
-“I hate my life”  
how can this be?  
what I see as perfection
is garbage to you  
 
my heartaches  
but I can’t stop the fight
must show you that you are much more
going to the farthest lands  
picking the rarest of flowers
sharing the most beautiful songs  
flirting to warm your soul
your laughter makes me smile
how can someone so perfect want me?  
how is it you don't want yourself?
I will devote my life healing your mind
even if it destroys this mortal man
