Calloused


The greatest sacrifice

Leads to a cold heart.

Forsaken paradise
unnecessary stalwart.

 

Opinions changed
Consent to disdain.
Perceptions Rearranged
to approval again

 

It is possible
If you believe
Together invincible 
Grant this reprieve

 

Soften your callous
Feel the warmth
Remove the malice
Bring forgiveness forth

 

Not simple
I acknowledge
But set an example
Make this pledge:

 

We are irreplaceable 
First among equals
Our feelings unassailable 
Start the sequel!

 

Effort required
I understand
Love inspired
devotion’s Demand

 

In the end
We love each other
You are my best friend
Deserving Forever together
