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.
