and all this time the smoke screen i stood behind
you never knew existed
you held me in your arms and the smile i wore drifted
and for the first time ever, the oceans that lived in my eyes pushed out streams that flowed down my cheeks
my knees grew weak
love dressed up as a spell
and suddenly i am compelled to be nothing other than me
i am not who you think i am
is this face still worthy of you
unmasked and riddled with imperfection
and on some days, depression
now that you see me
do you see me
what magic you possess in the morning
the earth is still and still your heart beats
these are the moments i live for
a beauty unmatched
unknown even to the beholder
as the world burns around us
serenity lives in your eyes
you are my safe space
the calm before my storm
our imperfections perfected who we are
unapologetic about being unacceptable
what magic you possess in the morning
do you know the power within your smile
shame no longer lives in what was
instead courage pushes me to what will be
you are the memory ill never forget
you are the random thought during the conversation i wasn’t listening to
the daydream i replay at night
marking the exact moment i fell for you
just moments before you caught me
what magic you possess in the morning
to see me in a different light than i see myself
in all the places i feel dim
you whisper to me that ive never been brighter
you caress the scars that could’ve ended me simply because they didn’t
my scars feel so different under your fingers
my stories have an audience
your sweet embrace was the standing ovation i never knew i needed
your kiss whispered encore
and since then life has never been the same
what magic you possess in the morning…
