Love Poem: Empathy

Empathy

When I’m with her everything changes and I start to notice life in different phases, like the man on the moon

Her beauty is written about in praises

Even though she sees nothing but imperfection as the mirror gazes

But all her imperfections are the definition of perfection to me, if only she could see what my eyes see

As she brakes my limitations to joy, her gentle soul molds my concrete heart 

I now find life within death

When I hold her, she feels safe with no cares in the world but wonders if she should still care just a little

Like I want him to know I care but I don’t want to feel as if I’m reaching 

She looks at me and asks how could I be so lucky, and questions if life is even real

Even though she wakes up every morning to pinch her skin with no changes, so this must be a little real

She jumps not knowing where she might fall 

With all the proof in the world she still asks how much will this cost every time he says I love you

This is an example of genuine actions being stabbed by the doubt her past created 

Leaving us to learn the little things matter just as much as anything else

That’s what I notice every time I noticed you

Like the smirk you get right before your dimples bloom each time I would see you

The way your baby hairs fall down the side of your head right before I brush them behind your ear

The way your freckles sparkle beneath your eyes like stars in the sky

The way the holes in your outfit match the holes in my heart

If only we realized we are always in his hands and even with the holes in his hand he would not let us fall through

I used to be so guarded with life because of my past I hold on to but when my reflection is in your eyes I am never afraid to let go

And as I fall I notice the atmosphere around me

Everyone wears a crown but sometimes we want the thorns instead, don’t you remember we already have a king

Every rose has a heart so I give it to you on your bad days when you just can’t find the beat

The clouds roar louder than lions

And in the rain, you can see the future within tears from the past

Too many times do we complicates things making relationships so vast 
When all we need is God to be first and last

When we are together the feeling is always mutual

p.s. I wrote this about you knowing I feel the same way too…
