Asking

What if the words you say aloud
What if the thoughts in your mind
All said you knew better
Than to love someone like me
Knees and heads bowed
In obedience
What if you knew what mattered
And loved who you loved inside
No matter what others think
Whatever their shattered dreams
Whatever their restless sleep
You would make me proud
Let love grow so strong
Let it creep deep inside you
Like a weed in concrete
Never dying
Never crying
Knowing exactly
It lives again
Keep growing
Keep knowing
I never stop loving
It is a fire within


“I intend to bring you strength, joy, courage, perspicacity, defiance.”
