Lastly, last night’s vigil…
I could not write you a love song.
I would not know where to start.
But last night’s vigil,
reaching for you is where it turns the light from the dark.
♥
My words have never been acquainted with eloquence.
Yet, then came the touch of your skin.
The simplest gesture for many years…unrecognized.
Truest freedom is to lay down by your side.
♥
Misguided romance and nightly party favors,
had been my used to be, host.
Anger’s undercover liaison.
Who had promised to protect me from me.
Hostage of the Heart…had been the bedtime tale.
Spoken words intended to make the strong frail.
♥
Through the trail of fears,
you have taken back my night.
Lastly, last night, you lay beside me…as you always have.
As always, daring me to care.
Lastly, last night’s vigil.
Home at last.
Lastly, last night.
Home at last.
