For My Muse | darlene's Blog

At first I was repelled by your frosty shell, but

What I saw on the outside wasn't the sum of the whole

When I thought you might leave, I mustered the courage from my soul...

To send you a note that I figured would go ignored

So, what did I have to lose?

Little did I know how it would make you choose

I was bewildered and surprised...

What was it that I said

That flipped that switch inside of your head?

I was scared that I wouldn't be good enough

Or have the right stuff

To keep you liking me...

But, you showed me how my first impression was so wrong

What I had failed to see...

You were just you and I was just me

You still shock me with your friendship and kindness

All this pain I had felt before caused this blindness?

I see the light is bright through your eyes

I hear the song's sweet melody through your ears

Everything was dim and dark til you made me see

Everything was muddled til you made me hear

The fear I hide inside seems to melt away

When you tell me it is OK

The confusion in my mind seems to unwind

I can breathe at ease knowing I don't have to try so hard to please

You make me feel that it is OK to be me

My friend, my Muse, should I doubt your words?

In the end, I know I can't, you see

Because, I know my words are true for you

I need to believe yours are the same for me
