A pretty bird born free
That feels beauty is for others

What her mirror sees
Are the blemishes undiscovered

Has a set of wings
Yet keeps them folded under

Born to loudly sing
But took on self doubt as her lover

Lives her life as is
She has never known another

Sitting on her perch
In the cage she's built around her

I would willingly
lay down my life
for a single smile from you

I would turn back time
with my bare hands
to kiss your sweetened lips

I would race across
the pages of history
to hold you safely in the night

I would ****
the fiercest beast
to hear you call my name

And I would rip the crescent moon
from the starry sky
to lay by your side
for only one night

I am forever in love with you
You are my whole life
My soulmate

You're better than...

a whole field of wild flowers
the sunrise after a rainy week
a 3 day long snowstorm
a brand new pair of shoes
a crisp $100 bill
the Northern Lights
raw cookie dough ice cream
left over pizza
the first morning glory that wakes
the highest snow capped mountain

and last but not least

you're better than...

ME

so thank you for loving me like you do
my precious love

I LOVE YOU

"a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck, a barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep...about you
