Once Beautiful

When I listen
When I hear and never listen
It makes me wonder, makes me bleed
Make me see
Make me listen, make me wonder
Make me feel, make me dream
And still remember
More no more no less no more to find
Breathe, bleeding, haunting, silently
Enough just to feel
Escaping, missing
Silently once beautiful
Make me see
Make me listen, make me wonder
Make me feel, make me dream
And then Surrender
As my voice it's silent
And my heart it feels less than before
And my feelings fail me
And my defenses fail me
In the face of ravenous need
Pretend I am lovely
Make me beautiful again
And feel like I am special still
And remind me how to smile
And feel like diamonds
Make me beautiful again
Cry my tears and vanish them
Whisper in my ear
As I run away and hide
Hold me don't let me run in fear
Make me beg make me cry
In pain and joy
Pretending to be lovely
Make me bleed
Make me whisper, make me secret
Make me wish
I was never born to say this as I wait
For such simpleness
As I hear your quiet haunting
As I feel this silence collapses me
Make me beautiful again
And feel like I am special still
And remind me how to smile
And feel like diamonds
Make me beautiful again
Cry my tears and vanish them
Slap my fears and banish them
Whisper in my ear
As I run away and hide
As I struggle as you hold me
Don't let me go and run in fear
Make me beautiful again
And feel like I'm special
And remind me how to smile
I feel like poison
Once beautiful again
When my tears were cherished then
Whisper in my ear as I disappear
Pull my covers don't let me hide
Make me look into your eyes
Can you really see me
Down to the bones
Once beautiful

Maggie...
Thank you for letting me see more and more of you--your heart, your soul, your mind, the fear and vulnerability, and the sacredness, the specialness, the only one who is you, called Maggie.

In gratitude, awe and humility,
Bruce
