What if I told you

What if I told you that you

put a song in my heart when

your eyes peered into my soul and

made me someone bigger than me.

Now I stand in a pool of sallowness in

 the saging of the heart the waging of the war

with all that forces my body to fade

into a specter rather wasted but

gallant in the face of forces

pretending to be stronger than me.

What if I told you that I sing the song

still in my dreams and waking.

Will that lift us up?

Will you keep holding my hand and

breathe your promise as you did once?

Faith everlasting.
