It's How

Can I trust you?

   Isn't a question that needs to be asked.

Will the thought of you, throwing it in my face hold true?

                          No. 

It's a fleeing thought, never to lead a

coup d'etat on my brain.

When you see a sad look in my eyes,

it isn't pity that you put on a chain

Instead, it's the way you brush my mane,

wipe away bloodstains 

and how you always attain a smile 

even from down the aisle

It's how you make small moments worthwhile

how you make me laugh like a juvenile

how you make my heart blaze like a wildfire

It's how no abuse leaves your lips

instead your words are like honey

dripping from my fingertips 

It's how I know I can trust you

that you won't use my weaknesses

to feed on like leeches

or turn your voice to screeches

Because I love you, you say

everyday

and  how much you love me

outweighs my flaws

effortlessly
