"Love is Why We Try"

by Jeph Johnson

 

minding myself
amidst her moods
is an art I've yet to perfect
while mentioning change
seems to rearrange
her responses seem less direct
refusing to fall
means giving my all
and all that I need to deny
for dreams I have dreamt
is why I attempt
and love is the reason I try
