The Unlovely

I just want someone to love me

For the unlovely that I am

I just want you to see past my skin

And into my core

To feel the way my heart beats

When it is content

Or when I crave more

I want you to know my pattern of breathing

And to see my eyes light up

I want someone to love me

While I'm a little less than enough

I may never measure up

I will never be perfect

But I promise to give you all my love

I promise you it is worth it

I just want to be loved

For the unlovely that I am

I just want someone to love

While I still can

Come and hold my hand

We can unravel this world together

We can make a plan

Or we can just do whatever forever

I am the unlovely

But I still want to be loved

And held

And cared about

I am the unlovely

But maybe you could find a way to love me...
