I have a feeling or an idea as I look upon your face
Of the conflict that exists in this space
The softness of your eyes hardens to granite
Then back to gentleness changing with the remorseless tide
Your generous bottom lip so endearing
Thins and tightens full of secrets and fear
No amount of love and devotion can erase
The dread of losing more than you win when in my embrace
How can I make it so that you know?
What must I do for this truth to show?
That all is love and it cannot be lost
It exists and perseveres beyond all cost
Worth your devotion and commited return
Of love generous in the simplicity you spurn
Sadly not enough or worth a life changing event
Too idealistic and not in keeping with what you have spent
This life and this love for your sins I repent
I endure and daily in silence I pray
That you will dispense with the complications haunting our love one day.
