your face

Your face: by the jesters misstress
by ~Thejestersmisstress2

i am not naive,
i am not a tease,
i am confused.

i know not of what i feel,
nor what i should do.

i am not oblivious,
i am not unaware,
i am but hurt- and scared.

battered and bruised from past lovers i fear-
that i will only open up to be torn apart again.

i am but lost,
in a sea of conflicting emotions.
pain, loniness, failure,
all crash upon me like unmerciful waves.

but through the pain,
through the tears,
and through the agony-
i see your face.

in a crowd of hundreds,
it's yours that i see.

yours is the face that makes me laugh,
when i know i am about to cry.
yours is the face that makes me smile randomly,
bringing a light into my darkening universe.

out of the thousands of faces i see every day---
yours is the face i will remember forever<3
