your perfect heart

sometimes i think
it couldn't
be me
someone
like you
wouldn't
choose me
you and your
perfect heart
and me
and my flaws
yet you will never know
how many prayers
for your love
tumble from
my bruised mouth
prayers that ask
for you
to always
choose me
prayers that ask
for you
to find
what i always
try to hide
because i know
if found
it would be
exactly
what makes you stay
.
