Contradictions of the Heart

You are the song that I sing,

The words that I write...

The smile on my face,

The quiet prayer in my heart.

 

Do you hear the unsung melody?

Read between the lines?

Do you see yourself in my eyes,

My heart skips a beat, overjoyed.

 

You see my strength

When I show my vulnerability.

I see your dark side

Taken by its beauty.

 

Could this be?

In a world of twisted reality?

I winced thrice to wake,

But your hands are still with mine.

 

Standing on the edge of reason,

Fear returns like a prodigal foe,

But happiness is forgiving -

You looked at me...

 

Love wins.
