i sit across her
on the round table

i see her delicate hands
twirling on the spoon
on this ethereal summer noon
when she looks incredibly pretty
beneath the cobwebbed ceiling
amid the Doppler noise of the city
her eyes on the coffee
and mine on her.
Your hands on my waist,
leading a familiar dance;
your grin matching mine.

a rose, they say, will have a thorn
which can't destroy nor ****
it only serves to give its bloom
a scent that's sweeter still
when the tender growing thing
is planted in the dust
no water for it's thirsty roots
only drying crust
it will be a cactus
full of prickly spines
but cacti have their flowers
their fruit can make rich wine
we all have our emotions
we all can feel pain
but when it makes us better
then only love remains
when we are hurt and wounded
on my very oath
we can still be grateful
such stoic trust brings

I'm hurting right now
But I will not be bitter
I will be better
God will never give me
more than I can handle
I want to walk through a forest, I want to see the sea.
Living in a city has never felt quite right to me.
Lead me away from the chaos of this place.
A log cabin in the woods, that'd be ace.
