Am I enough to bear your love,
am I wrong to be afraid,
or has our path become too rough
for futures to be laid?
Why do you lie to hold me close
yet push away my tears?
How do I try to hold you close
while tendering my fears?
Are these the eyes which beat your heart,
are these sleepless nights in vain,
or do you seek unburdened hips
to ease your selfish pain?
Author notes
NOTE: I am enough, and he doesn't seek. Just a rough patch.
