My Anxious Heart

My anxious heart has yet to deal

With my emotions that I feel

I see the distance in your eyes

You say you love me through a grey disguise

I may not be pretty and young

Through tears and scars, a woman, I've become

The sun has damaged my skin through the years

My physique became round from babies and beers

I want you to see me and need me each day

I want you to want me in spite of my flaws

Instead of clasping on, you've slowly withdrawn

I yearn to get lost in each other's eyes and remind ourselves of our love

I plead to know that I'm enough when push comes to shove
