It was never fair to you
Everything I was
Everything I said
All that I wished
Tattered and worn
But you never wanted more
You only wanted me
Scars and all
Each revelation maddening
Every truth revealing
The real me
It was never fair to you
How I wooed you from the start
Somehow capturing your heart
Your love a beacon in the dark
In some way you saw the me
I wanted to be
Hidden beneath
Waiting to be free
From the pain
The lies and all
Every layer peeled back
Each one unveiling
The real me
It was never fair to you
But you made me forget
Whenever I tried to decry myself
You took up my side
Always and forever
That’s what you said
And you never looked back
You reel in all my slack
Yet even with this fact
You keep giving me all of you
Everything within
Even when I don’t deserve it
Especially then
And I’m starting to like
The real me
When I’m with you.
