my love, my sugar

let me be mistaken like an incorrect answer key accept me for my ego but never accept my ego write over it in pencil turn my abcs into cabs show me that being correct doesn't make me good accept that i must be fixed never accept what must be fixed do not take what i give like it is sugar a succor for there is a backstory which will never justify my actions do not take it as an excuse or explanation the american's desperation for something sweet does not excuse does not explain does not justify does not correct does not incorrect does kill a culture if i worship your smile do not let me crush your soul to keep it never let me forget i am flawed never let me believe i am invincible because you have loved me for that would mean you too, have fallen into this trap a love trapped in ego is narcissus's curse i will not look for love in reflective pools i will look for love in you and because you love me your gaze will catch mine and all of me will be your sugar and all of you will be my nectar and i will be good
