The Nature of My Design

if beauty was judged by discretion
than you’re the only queen
the only one rightfully
meant to fill this scene
it’s everything you think you’re not
and everything in between
the good, the bad, the ugly
the beautiful and serene

where’s the sense in hiding
if i can lend a hand
take you from this emptiness
to a place you can withstand
rid you of these broken dreams
from a world in which you’re banned
breathe into you a light
and only pray that you’ll expand

nothing quite this simple
has ever passed my mind
there’s nothing inside you
that would lead me to resign
to run away and abandon
all the wonderful things i find
would never bear a single thought
by the nature of my design
