She's already saved me from myself
By being my alternate path
Away from destroying the self
Towards forgiveness of my self-wrath.
She's the voice I always ignored
It was a voice no one would speak
Sought to put my neck to the sword
She was strength the times I was weak.
How often will she pull me back?
I keep leading her to the brink.
My fears have me under attack
But she doesn't care what I think.
My poor judgment speaks its dissent
"I'm not worth the man you expect!"
With patience she sees my intent
And I change to earn her respect.
Such love feels so undeserving
From depth where my broken heart bleeds,
Her depth of love is unnerving
But I'll be the man that she needs.
Ode to my very patient partner whom I love and would change for.
