Criticise

I cut you down to size

But what I forget is

Its not about you

But about my inner critic

Turned outside

Why can’t I just trust

That good things come

That everyone is human

And have a softer heart

Why do I have to set up barriers

To stop myself from being hurt

As though true love required that someone be perfect

Instead of just perfect for me

And it must be true

That the world we see

Is all a projection of what hold inside

Sometimes I wish

This doubting restless energy in me would just die

But I forget too

The many roadblocks Life has set up

To keep us from each over past months

And then rather than feel the pain

I try to blame you or circumstance

When really you are innocent

Please forgive my hurting heart

And mixed up things I say

There is no way

I want this to break

For us to part

I am so so sorry my love

Sometimes life is just so rough

And I forget the precious things are gifts

Like you

And should never ever be

Taken for granted
