You want soft lips
Soft skin free of textures
Smooth hair to run your fingers through
And a soft heart to accept yours

But that's not what I can give
My lips are chapped
My skin is dry and torn
My hair is in straw like tangles
And my heart is plagued by the pain of the past

I wish I could give you what you wish for
Open palms for you to hold
Strength to hold you up
Endless arms to hold you with
And shining eyes that show you the world

Clammy sweaty palms is what I've got
My knees are weak barely holding me up
My arms are heavy and hard to move
And my eyes are dull like they have never seen light

A soft smooth melodic voice is what you crave
Strong and stead breathing
A mind that is only on you
And a powerful smile to light up the room

But my voice is harsh and raspy
My breathing is never even
It's like I'm drowning in my thoughts
That you do not always star in
Smiling is hard and mostly fake, though that I'll never admit

I wish I could be a flame burning for you
But my pain exists too
Maybe you can't understand that
But I need someone who does
