I know I can be difficult
But don’t they say
Nothing good ever came easy?
Her passion hath no limit
I’m sorry I was too much
That your cup wasn’t large enough
To contain such love
Powerful tenderness
Bit by bit, piece by piece
mind body soul
slowly peeled away
from her outer shell
revealing a tenderness unbeknown
powerful and consuming
unearthed from hidden depths
I wish I could see the future
I wish I could see the future
The paths we might take
Together or apart?
Uncertainty was never something I was good at
Some days I think we’ll reach the finish line of what they call life
Other days I wonder if we’ll stop prematurely from injury or pain
Or maybe I’ll run ahead and you’ll lose sight of me
a faint line in the distance
I wish I could see the future
The paths we might take
Together or apart
Then
And it was then
That I realised I was searching for him, in you
Fragility
Why did you build this ship
only to take down its armour
Lay the tiles in this house
only to remove its concrete
Turn something solid
into something fragile
Mean it
I like the way you hold me
How do I hold you
Like I am something special
I hold you like I mean it
