The man before you

If you cannot see the man
Who stands before you
There will always be another
Standing over there
The weak of mind
Feeble in their judgment
Will not resist
Temptation's promised lie
The one that cares
Knows of his faults and folly
Undoubtedly aware
Of the cracks already there
But he is real
In his commitment to be with you
This is what you have sought
When you cried
Alone in the dark
If you have a picture
Resembling a great painting
You must look inside him
To see the reality you crave
His endless passion rages
Though he keeps
It closely guarded
Reserved in blossom
For the one who truly knows
