All of me, None of me
How did this happen?
You walk out the door,
but i started missing you
from the moment you kissed me goodbye.
When im with you
i’m confident
i’m sexy
because you tell me so.
but when you’re gone
my insecurites catch up with me
and I’m left with a lonely heart.
I can’t imagine how this is real,
its hard to believe i’m the one you want.
Your illusion of me as this amazing person,
is shattered the very moment i’m alone.
The facade of calm i’m accustomed to displaying
fades as I look into your eyes.
You really want to know what’s on my mind?
I’m terrified by your ability to break down my walls
while building me up at the same time.
These walls that guard the substance of my very existence
have never so easily caved.
They’ve become a part of me.
I begin to panic
I don’t know if i can give you what you want.
Never wanting to let you down,
never wanting to let you go.
If this is a mistake
why is it so easy to love you.
This deceitful dilemma is excrutiatingly painful.
My heart tricks my mind into bearing my soul.
I don’t know why i try to fight it
when you have every part of me already.
I’ve been struggling to protect what pieces are left of me
but in reality whatever remains
comes together in a whole
with your kiss.
So i guess what i’m trying to say is,
this once broken-hearted girl
is offering the fragments of her heart for the taking,
if you should desire them.

Thank you, I meant every word of it, but it’s actually not about a guy it was written for my girlfriend.
