Voices in My Head III

Would you still love me

If you saw my scars 

From those battles of love

That I fought in and lost?

Would you shrink away 

If I showed you my heart

With veins held together

By stitch upon stitch?

Would you love me less

If you knew my soul

Has deeply loved those 

Who don’t deserve it?

Would you judge me

For all the wrong moves

And favourite mistakes

So hushed on my tongue

But deafening in my mind?

Or would you

Pick up the pieces 

Scattered behind my smile

And patch up my dreams 

And hold them out to me

On a silver platter and say

‘But I wouldn’t want you any other way.’
