For Forever

Grasping blame

With battered fists

Owning it

Soiled by it

Knuckles bloodied

From punching brick

I hold it all

All that's bent, broken/besieged

So you can be free

Freedom to be

Inherently joyful

With each blink

Clarity of truth

Not ever fearful

Of the dark

When your eyes close

For that I would bleed myself dry

For that I would carry any wound

For you

To know a forever

love to rival all fairy tales
