A Language Imperfect


Show me who you are


Not that I don't know

but I could never know enough

I see thoughts in your eyes

expressed through a language imperfect

and I need to know more


Show me who you think I am


Not that I've the right to know

but mirrors can't be trusted

And, if you're going to open up,

you might as well open all the way

fulfilling your need to show more


You think I'm stronger than you

but I'm not

Your strength comes wrapped in graceful ribbons

carrying a weight deceptive in its density


You think me wise while I learn from you

About love

About patience

About peace


You think me brave while I lean on you

On your love

On your patience

On your peace


You show me who you are


I try to see it all

but I could never see enough

Worlds built on words

expressed through a language imperfect


And I need to know more
