I THOUGHT MYSELF

I Thought Myself

I thought myself a symphony

With perfect rhyme and grace

Melody pure and so sublime

Until I saw your face

I thought myself a masterpiece

With art throughout my form

But my colors melted into gold

When I felt myself reborn

I thought myself a perfect poem

Writ to bring a tear

To every listening heart that could

And every hearing ear

I thought myself complete and whole

With no fear of exposure

Until my heart fell in your hands

And I lost all composure

I  thought myself but I didn't know

I didn't know my lack

Until you saw my broken-ness

And gave me myself back

And if I may, I'd like to stay

Here in your paradise

I thought myself but now I know myself

Shining in your eyes.
