In your voice
I can hear the pain
of past loves deflated
flattening your belief
that you are worthy.
Your eyes
are colored sadness
darkened
and not wanting
to be blue.
God, I could love you
so easily
hope could be renewed
and you'd know
you are the perfect creation
of a mighty maker.
Skin to bone
and mine to yours
how I'd like to show you
elation is possible
even at our age.
Do you believe
there is still time
to get caught up
in the beautiful complications
accompanying love.
Consider me, will you,
let's track solace down together
hopelessness is old
and ready to take leave
and I imagine retiring
in your arms.
