Self Love


How do you love someone

Someone you know at their core

 

The ins and outs, good and bad

You know every thought and desire

 

You stand in judgement

Ready and waiting to sentence

 

A closed position

Verdict decided prior to presentation of evidence

 

Innocence before guilt

No need to conquer

 

The gavel is a gift

An opportunity for pardon

 

What is the why?

Your heart of hearts knows
