Excuse
To choose a person
To blend a being
To love with hurt
To synchronize meaning
To take a hand
So excited to hold
You freeze the moment
One seems to let go.
I always let go.
Play god
And leave.
The worth I find in them
Was once
Abscient in me.
The tears that fall now
Are a sweated mint tea
I cry for the fact
That I now love
To be.
The patience he shows
The kindness I've seen
The love he said grows
That I now must believe.
The way he sees words
understands and perceives
Every reason to know
He’s not staying to leave
Every breath that I’ve held
Must eventually ease
Every excuse that I've made
To not fall on my knees
Will never work on him
for,
He truly loves me.
