Dear Worthless One

if you could see yourself 
the way I see you
you wouldn't 
let that man boy
come so close

if you could see yourself
the way I see you
you would
not put your heart in 
reckless hands

if you could see yourself
the way I see you
you would know
that I cried
and even 
died 
when your heart broke
the first time

if you could see yourself
how I see you
you would know
that I am 
a safe place for you
and dark alleys
would no longer be 
Home 
to
 you 
 You would not spend your days
 as a beggar 
after a crumb of someone's love

and all the scales would fall and break and 
s h a k e)
all you thought
you
were 
and stir 
a place in you
for Me

 and you would see Me
for what I truly am
and you would know that I long to hold you
and you would know that
I long to be with you 
you would believe that
                                                                                                                                                  all My plans
                                                                                                                                                       are good
though so often I'm
misunderstood
Just Like You
