If I fall

You shower me with so much love

And if I fall

Will I have the strength inside to survive it all

The promise of this love you say is true?

There is no way to know the truth

And life is never certain

Until there is proof

Sometimes deeper truths are hidden behind curtains

Drawn by another’s hopes and dreams

Nursed on older scars and deeper injuries

So all I can hope is to remember

This love I am finding for myself inside

That is the sun you say

Draws you close

I feel the heat as it rises in my belly

And so I know it is mine

Kindled perhaps by your connection

And attention

But never the less

A strong inner flame

That part of my eternal spirit

That can never die
