Love Me When I'm Hard To Love

Love me for the scars I have

From another man's rough hands.

Love me for the days I bled

From being unloved , if you can .

Love me for the present of me,

And my tragic past too.

Love me for the days I mend,

And help me to mend with you.

Love me for the promises I keep

Made on the very first day.

Love me for the woman I am,

How I see and what I say.

Love me for the arms you seek

On a very tiresome night.

Love me for the calm you get from me

When the things are not so bright.

Love me for the mistakes I make,

My anger, wrath and my cold blood.

Love me for the tears I shed

When I trip and fall in mud.

Love me for a thousand things

That no one else would love me for.

Love me for as long as we are:

This lifetime and so many more.
