Reassess

Because only through compassion
Could I hide my true self.
Not all things have changed
Our hearts still beat as one.
Still nothing can erase
All that we have done.
More than words can speak
My love for you is stronger
Than your eyes that make me weak.
Take all that we are, don’t let it go,
Pulses beating through broken skin
With the scars we’ll never show.
Don’t speak a word, they will never know.
The blood has dried, the need has died,
I thought I was dead, can’t say I never tried.
Now I stand here with nothing else to hide,
You and I both know how we feel inside.
Able bodied and staggering patience
Tender to your touch, faint to your senses.
Reassess yourself, I’ll be here waiting
For your arms to find direction
To the life that we’re creating.
I can’t stay away, so much to say
I kept my mouth shut, just for today.
