inner cedar
Those three words had ruined my life.
I do this because I love you!
She’d tell me as she starved me,
Beat me senseless.
Those three words that caused so much hurt.
You don't understand how much I love you!
He’d tell me as he left me behind,
Running off to a new family.
I love you.
Yet somehow,
In some way I don't quite understand,
When it's you,
I want to fall to my knees at your feet.
Those three words that had ruined my life,
Spilling from your mouth like a soothing balm.
I love you.
You tell me as you look at my eyes.
I want to fall at your feet.
To sob in your arms,
Cling to you,
Tell you everything,
Tell you those same words back.
I want to hold you,
To worship you,
Kiss you gently as I run my hands over your skin.
I love you.
Those three words,
Those words that had seemed so dull,
So meaningless and conniving,
Changed.
