ONLY ME by JM                           I see you shaking                           and I recognize                           guilt wracking your bones;                           I plead with you                           reject those lies,                           (any guilt felt                           must be my own).                           Knowing what                           you had to live through                           it's so clear to see                           there's nothing to make you fell shame                           (unless we're talking about me).                           I ask you of life before now                           you stammer and halt                           I see what's been taken from you                           (for me, it was simply my fault).                           Every mountain we've climbed                           in our lives,                           each time that we fly                           we tell each other                           those times were real                           (we tell ourselves                           it's a lie).                           I watch you                           put yourself down                           it makes my heart ache                           I tell you you're so much better than that                           (it's only me that's a fake).                           I plead with you                           to love yourself too,                           when will you ever see?                           You raise your head and look in my eyes                           when I'm ready to start loving me.
