Because I Love Her

She is my hope, my joy on this earth
I am her sorrow, I am her curse
She chose to accept a place lower than low
By accepting my offer, however flawed I am
Her future path changed
Because I love her I try to be more
I try to become better than I might otherwise
She is my desire, my inner fire
She is my flame
I have tried to be more than life offered
And I am unable to know
What the rules of love might be
So I try to be more than my instincts
I wish to make her life better
Because she made it so for me


“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”   William Shakespeare
