Accept neglect

If beauty crept slowly across my leg Would it still please you, would I still be A vision inspiring to wonder and amaze Or would you leave quickly my side and my speed. I wonder, still fragile, still awkward and new, Would you still love me if only you knew, That I have been beaten and I have been slapped With fiery fierce words and one awful fist; and Would you still love me if only you saw the Scars of my past that locked me away.  I’ve seen such great horror and evil and truth… Reality and show you I’ve lived in the zoo… I wonder dear one if you could see through the Tears in my heart, would you still embark, On this my life’s journey, My destiny enfolds. I now walk with caution and do as I will, surrounded By only the things that I love, so tell me I pray Would you love me one day… When lightning it crashes and naked I walk Up to your door and knock ever soft A plea to your heart to let just me in and Hold you till dark when we fade within the walls of new life. I’ll ask silently, you may not to hear, but Ask you I will and speak love to dear, but my shoulders Still feel oh so heavy and I Do not have a savior though I’ll save you I fear. And cry once a tear still heavy within For you are angelic and my kindred year. My words they read beauty inside your dark eyes, And I wish to live there the rest of my life.
