You treat me so rough when I beg you for delicate You say that you love me but you’re not really selling it I remember the strength I once held while celibate I was a purified flower, You were loving the smell of it.. But my thorns can be prickly And I fear you won’t like that So when you cause pain, I try hard not to bite back I love you unconditionally and though I cannot fight that, I wish you could see how it hurts to fall off track The pain in my foot is the pain in your back God sent you a mirror And that mirror collapsed If you look at what’s happening You’ll see that I am you So it’s not what you want to, But maybe what you can do. To reach outside yourself to care for another You could learn so much From the love of a mother This is what I offer A new perspective I know that you’ll see it You’re very perceptive I spin you in circles And we finish our dance I search for the conditions They’re there; in your glance. It’s both of our worst fear, you won’t speak aloud. I say all of my thoughts, As they pass by like clouds. Some are dark, some shiny, some gray You only acknowledge them Only every other day Make me laugh and perspire, Push my feelings away The pain fades temporarily, Yet the doubtfulness stays “am I ungrateful” Or “Am I being punished” I ask myself often, As I sift through the dunnage I unbury the fear At the root of it all I was rising in love, But beginning to fall You weren’t willing to catch me Because you never saw I tried to speak to you, But did so, through a wall Will you love me unconditionally When you don’t like what you see? Are you in love with an idea, Or do you truly love ME.
