Glasses

Sometimes
I feel as though
I have nothing to offer
except witty retort
a painted face
a mouth that still whispers his name
a vodka soaked heart
and a wine stained soul
And a body
that shivers at the slightest touch
because my body can’t forget
what my mind can
my skin screams at the thought
And I’m just begging you
to see me
because I’ve lost sight of myself
I want to use you
as a pair of glasses
to see myself
through your lenses
just to try on
Please
tell me that your prescription
is stronger than mine
Please
tell me that you see something
more beautiful than I

a mouth that still whispers 'his name'

And I’m just begging 'you'
to see me

This is a very common identity confusion problem for me being I see this all the time.
Who exactly are you talking to? Are you referring to an old boyfriend, or are you talking to one person?

There is a high emotional impact when reading this one...

I'm assuming you wrote this because you want people to see more to you than what they already see?
I'd rather see you with my true eyes instead of glasses. I can see how beautiful you are without improvement to my vision
