To Life:
Bending, If I Must
~bending~
calm, quiet, still, always
painting you
low as I can be
without falling
never leave your eyes
for they are my refuge.
~bending~
then
to know I wouldn't break
there will be a day
you'll finally understand me
to show I can hold you
up to the wind,
out in the night storms
to prove
we will not catch to fire.
~bending~
now
to keep my tongue in its perspective
to love you anyway
in spite of what you do
and how hard you touch me
and lack of touch at all
sometime.
~bending~
soon
to stand straight
grab you
by the lapel
with both hands
and
kick some ass!
