A Better Man

I don’t know what I lack

That prevents you from taking the next step.

I don’t know what I need to do

In order to make you realise how I feel in my hearts depth.

 

Is it about the man that I am

And that I am not your type.

Or is it about every other guy around

Who’s got your attention with all the hype.

 

You mean so much to me

That sometimes it literally makes me sick.

To the point where if anyone speaks against you

Their asses I want to kick.

 

I write countless poems hoping someday you’ll see

How strongly I feel about you and that we’re meant to be.

It’s not that I cannot move on

Believe me that is easy.

 

I’m scared I’ll never find someone like you,

Or feel the same way again.

I am who I am

This is me pouring my heart out.

 

But would you feel any differently,

If I tried to be a better man?
