My love is my own
desperate
and torn
it rarely grows.
But I promise to show
as much
as I could ever give
It's not much to live by
much less than her expansive sky
more like a stone.
and I hope you understand
because
Your love is also your own
and I know
that you have an ocean's depth
of love to spread
but you started as a river
I began
just a grain of sand
buried with
the slightest shiver
and each love
has no clone
but if you'll agree
I will bathe you in my own
or you can wait
as I cultivate my love
for that strength is mine alone
