Self Destructive
Love me for my messed up hair
Even though you could never run your fingers through it
Without getting caught in the mess of it yourself
In fact, you would get caught in my mess of everything
I treat my past as not my past, but my present
I cannot let go of what is long gone
And I would drag you into my past
Like a time machine
Love me, even though I am hazardous and
Self-destructive
Screwed up
Self conscious
But the good news is that opposites attract
And we would be perfect together
Love me for my eyes, though their embers are dying out
And you would rarely get to see them sparkle
"Eyes are windows to the soul"
But I should draw my curtains close
Love me for my irreparable heart
Long ago, my heart was replaced
By a broken record stuck on replay
Stuttering through the same old tune
Its sound waves rippling through my body
Like the surface of a pond
I cannot promise much but I can promise this
I can love you like you deserve
And I hope that is enough
Love me for loving you
