Distorted Observance

By Intoxicating Delirium

As I'm laying here with you, head on your chest.
I can hear your heart beating, it's one of the best.

I see my reflection in your blue eyes.
My ugly image of which I despise.

How can you love me I'm nothing, I'm worthless. 
I don't understand your distorted observance.  

You tell me you love me, I'm beautiful, I'm perfect.
You just see the surface, you need to dissect. 

Cut me open, divide me up and analyze every shred.
You'll be amazed on how much you've misread. 

Can you not  see, you have been fooled.
I've kept you blind, your instincts overruled.

But the surface is cracking the truth will emerge. 
When you see whats underneath our love you will purge.

One day you will understand my deceiving endeavor.
You'll finally see me and I will have lost you forever.

    Nice write. You can never be sure, love really can blind.

    ...this is very good. it's a well crafted reversal of the idiom that 'beauty is on the inside'...

    This makes me feel even more hopeless than I already do about love.Something sinister gets between men and women and pries them apart.Every relationship I ever had was destroyed.I hate to think this is the truth.

    It really does take a miracle for love to succeed.

    Our darksides often try and convince us of these things. Sometimes they're believable, but usually not true. Hardcore write. Well done CR. Til next time -

    awe thats ashame you feel that way about yourself. you should never hide who you are. if you want someone to keep, it has to start with trust and honesty. i met mine in high school and its 26 years later and built on those two things. i dont think anybodys really that ugly inside i think that just means that the two arent compatible in each others eyes. good luck to you and quit beating yourself up...your beautiful.
