Tell The World (3/4/2008)

You have broken my blank stare and corrected my habits
There was a time I was jaded and, perhaps, was an addict
I was manic in my expression of contempt for all that mattered
Until this love had happened and then left that image shattered
I was battered by betrayal, I was lost inside the static
Nothing ever went right, so I simply said I had it
My soul was feeling famished, but I managed through the hunger
Until you came along and erased the pain I suffered
And I’m glad you’re not another and true to every essence
I hope I’m speaking clearly so I know that you will get this
With every single sentence, I feel the need to vent this
To notify the world that I’ve discovered something precious
And in the message that I read, I will speak about your eyes
The way they see right through me and can make me feel alive
How you make me want to strive to improve my class and style
And how everything you do makes me suddenly worth while
Then I’ll continue through the files and talk about this happiness
It’s something new from me, this cheesiness and sappiness
But, honestly, I’m happiest when I feel you by my side
Cause it’s then that I’m complete and it’s then that I’m alright
And it’s them that we’ll both fight, the shakers and the doubters
I’ll be strong enough for you cause this love can give me power
What’s mine is now just ours and I hope that you can see it
That you’re the girl I’ve wanted and the one I’ve always needed

Notes: It’s definitely my style of love poem. I hope it’s not overly sappy or cliched. I just wanted to express my appreciate for what I now have in my life: Her.
