The love
I have for you
Is carved in bone
A vow I never spoke
But somehow
You’ve always known
It rises
Like a tide
I cannot slow
A pull inside my chest
That drags me
Where you go
The love
I have for you
Is fierce and true
A quiet storm
That breaks me open
Just to build me
New
It’s the ache
Behind my breathing
The truth
I keep repeating
The reason
Every wound I carry
Still believes
In healing
The love
I have for you
Is fire bright
A lantern
In my darkest hours
A promise
That the night
Won’t swallow me
Despite
How long I’ve lived
Without the light
The love
I have for you
Is not a fragile thing
It’s iron
It’s a kingdom
It’s a crown
I didn’t ask for
But I wear it
Like a king
It’s the reason
I stay standing
The force
That keeps demanding
I rise again
No matter
How hard
The fall
The love
I have for you
Is everything
And more
A truth
I’d bleed to guard
A door
I’d never close
A faith
I never had
Until your name
Became the one thing
I chose
