True love lies somewhere between rage and serenity The antithesis of anonymity Exists on the paved roads of pain filled memories Lodged amid warm thoughts Childlike fantasies For women it’s a strong masculinity For men it’s an infinite dependability On a woman who is both a nurturer and a lover A best friend when there is no other A confidant Someone who’s shares And keeps the insecurities of your thinking buried deep where no one can find it This person carries a light so high that no one can outshine it In a life where we are born with no favors No waivers That lessen the life lessons of the environments we live in Like God forgave yours Give your heart a break Let love make amends for the sin of the world And those that hurt you Those that hit you Those that abused you While wrong I pray you let me sing you a song that heals you And fills you with a joy that you cannot explain A love that confounds every theory and excuse you have not to love again No matter how you found it Or whether you deserve it What matters now is that you are worth it Love rests in the pain we live through And the connections we seek Tales of unrealistic expectations are lies we place on ourselves to be strong But really make us weak
