love doesn’t cry
it quietly supports your every action
it leans on your leg
it watches you across the room quietly
making sure you are ok
it follows you room to room
letting you know you are not alone
it loves you
it’s a friend
your sanctuary
it’s easy to love when you are loved
but when the other turns away
because they fear themselves
that will be the time your love is really tested
you will want to run away
it’s hard to watch someone hurt themselves
it challenges everything we feel love should be
but stay you must
for this is what love requires
not your will be done
let your anger at loves rebuke
be transmuted into compassion
so clean up the mess
slip into the bed and whisper
your love into the abyss of fear
call out across the void to the lost one
stand firm in your resolve
take the lashes with joy
let the salt of your tears
birth new hope for love
