I Am Not Unflawed

I saw the signs of you pulling away

I saw what I didn't want see

and now it has cost me the pain of your rejection

You built me up only to tear me down with your words

You made me laugh only to turn around and make me cry

I blame myself more than you for I choose to stay even after your words cut so deep

You walked away from me because I didn't measure up to who you thought I should be

I am who I am, for I am not perfect, I am not unflawed, yet I am worthy of love even if not in your eyes
