LXXVII

You temper my belief in a life beyond love

It’s a relief knowing She was listening up above

My sacrificial cadence showing with a touch

You tend scars ruptured by the age of time

In the night you shine all around

Making you mine

~

I hope it’s not too much if I talk about love

Like I knew what it meant before I thought

As if the world existed prelapsarian

The ‘Us’ I found was in the tangled web

I’ll keep it here and mirror every word I said

~

So come on the night ride with me

Under the street lights you look lovely

If you get tired I’ll keep driving on forever

I just pray to Her that if it’s real

Nothing will change and we can heal
