Imperfections

I get grumpy when I’m tired,

My bum is too big.

I have always hated my funny feet and my laugh just makes folk stare,

But despite all these imperfections,

I know you love me.

 

My nose is too straight,

My patience is somewhat lacking.

I can whine for Britain and my legs are just too stubby,

But despite all these imperfections,

I know you love me.

 

I’d love long lustrous hair,

My knees just aren’t attractive.

My sense of humour is twisted and my smile is just too wide,

But despite all these imperfections,

I know you love me.

Happy

In your strong arms,
I am loved.
My hand in yours,
I am safe.
Your lips on my neck,
I am cherished.
Your fingers on my skin,
I am soothed.
The smile in your eyes,
I am happy.

Falling

Falling, spinning,

Round and round,

No one to catch me,

Before hitting the ground.

 

Turning, twisting,

Down and down

Into the darkness,

I’m going to drown.
