HIDING FROM LOVE

He told the one his heart loves
To him, she's the fairest in the land,
She reached out and took his arm
But could not hear or understand...

"What do these words mean
Oh you foolish man?"

He told the one his heart loves
This love had outlasted Pain,
'Twould outlast her days
Without strings or regrets...

Such doubt and confusion rose in her eyes
Her words could find...no place of rest.

So many messages...years before
About being somewhat Less...
Resisted truth, held fast the door
Against Love and Worth, and so much more--

Protecting shadows held dear within
And pain-filled places...where life begins.

He told the one his heart loves
He loves you now...
And more.
