Expected

I'm sorry I didn't turn out what you expected me to be

A swan of reason accepting earnestly
wide eyed with magic, a kitten, pawing
harmlessly

Were I the dot of your i
or the cross of your t

I would know to
match your terminology
to be the strand that brings together your
lost entities
to be the piece of the puzzle missing
on Sundays devoted
I would be your quarterback
and your team
with popcorn and a silent energy

I would be the sister
sacrificing in times of need.

I would love you more than you could ever love me

I would need nothing but
the strength of my family

I would take my blame out on the pillows instead

I would drive and drive
myself until I knew the way

I would catch the sunlight with your eyes
whenever they broke day

I would learn patience and faith
to guide our way

I would love you as long as the moments allow

I would wait up for you
every night after the sun goes down

I would trust you with life
besides only my heart

the right decision
would always find its way to your heart

I would never harm myself again if you asked me not to.

If I was a perfect girl these are the things I would do,
but since I'm not all I can promise is that I'll keep on loving you.

And if ever in my heart you shall fade
I'll read this and our love will be saved

Once in my life
the perfect girl may show
to give us hope when times are low.

I work to get home and smile into your face
I sleep to awake in your pleasant embrace

Please tell me what you think

    one day, when you get married, you should read this as your wedding vow..

    fantastic stuff man. i'm really enjoying reading this side of you (haven't seen it before, but i might just have missed it)..

    love / marriage is exactly what this portrays. you can't always be perfect, but you can be all you possibly can. once you've given so much of yourself, this imperfections make up the perfect relationship.

    peace,
    C

    This is stunning. Love is not in the perfection but allows to be delighted with all the nuances that create a you that is expressed perfectly when all you strive for is what lives in you.

    Boy, does that sound convoluted. You poem is much more of a cyrstal light than any shadow of a review that I can cast your way. Just, know. You have touched me deeply and I am gifted for it happening.

    Love, Tom B.

    Nutter- this is simply you most touching write of all time,
    this is frustration-sweetness-devotion and self realization wrapped up in one neato package. (Sorta like you )
