Always Love
The fire within me has at last gone out
And the leftover timber has collapsed
My tears have soaked it to its core
And the rotting has begun
My soul devours itself in search of a warmth i can not give
The stench of decay wreaks havoc upon my senses
Nature takes her course and my soul slowly dissolves
My heart has long gone away
My mind gone with my will
Courage and strength are for the young
i have only appearance
The face a perfect mask
None question what they choose not to see
The pain inflicted by neglect
Harsher than that of its predeccessor
None can save you
None are there for you
You who stood so tall just for them
They leave you in a wasteland
Your only relief is what you can find
You wander through the gauntlet of hell
Your chest ripped open again and again
The hole displayed for the world to see
Yet they still ignore
Still deny
As if they did not do it
As if they did not allow it
They know
But too often refuse
To reach into the grime
And wade their way back through
Through the mire
And the fire
Just to come find you
To grasp you and embrace you
And tell you you are home
That there is such a thing as love
True love
A love that never takes only gives
A love that guides you
A love that can only forgive you
A love that will never hurt you
Never reject you
Never deny you
A Love that will be patient with you
Only has compassion for you
A love that always has and always will be
A love that is yours even if you will not have it
A love that hurts when you hurt
That cries with you
Laughs with you
Dances with you
A love that can only bring joy
A love that is pure untainted devotion
He is what you've searched and longed for
What you've needed but never found
He is love
God is love
