Work of Art
You were always struggling
The one who was always in pain
But you were the only one
Who could make me feel okay
You were always indecisive
You always thought before you spoke
You worried how people would see you
If they would think that you were broke
But, I will never think of you as less than what you are
You’re beautiful
You’re unstoppable
Darling, you’re a work of art
When you loved, you loved things fiercely
When you cried it broke my heart
When you laughed your eyes lit up
And when you left I fell apart
Still, I will never think of you as less than what you are
You’re beautiful
You’re unstoppable
Darling, you’re a work of art
And I know it might sound selfish
To want you back in my life
Because you’re happier now, without me
And that cuts through me like a knife
And even though I know you’re not struggling
And you’re no longer in pain
It hurts because I have no one
Who can make me feel okay
