Unworthy

I don't deserve you
It's what I often think about when I ponder our future
I have a left eye filled with a limitless hunger
And a wicked heart that wavers easily with emotion
Both caged, both contained, both unable to be allowed to freely exist
This curse I have brought upon myself with years and years of sin
Oh how I wish I could remove them both

Words unspoken, words never said but filled with saturated truth
I wish I could love you as I had them
I wish I could love you as you have me
I wish I could love you as I do her
I wish I could love you as you deserve
But the heart is wicked, and with my mind I love

All I ask is that the past be forgotten
That I may never ask of the what ifs 
The what whens
The what hows
The what or's 
The what nows

I cannot love you with all my heart
For it's an untamed beast, hungering to consume all
So many people exist, so many pathways to explore
So many possibilities, so many chances at happiness
So many potentials, so many truths
To allow it free will surely be my fall

And so I pledge I will spend each day loving you as you deserve
Pledge each day filling your seconds with joy
Pledge each day reminding you how important you are
Pledge each day becoming worth your love

Left eye left eye may I please remove you?
Stabbing into the socket, pulling you out
Left eye left eye you carry my curse
A sin that's fed and only made worse

May I someday accept the joys of life
And my heart never filled with strife
May I someday be worthy
With a heart that may be set free
May I someday love you with all my being
And spend the rest of my years believing 

To N Love
