To Love

To love
Deeply. Fiercely. Violently. With all that I am.
To bleed.
Exposing the soul to the anguish of rejection.
I may be called a fool.
But, did not someone once say
that being a fool for love is good?
Is it not an untenable risk,
To give you the greatest power?
To expose a spirit so delicate, bruised. . .
You are worth the risk.
Know that you are indeed loved.
Know that I require nothing in return.
Except for you to just be loved by me.

Your Husband

Pain

Pain.
A foe to overcome.
A companion to be embraced.
Pain tells me I am alive
She tells me I have a shitty life.
That I am awake.
What joy is like.
She challenges me to live
To learn
I will not release her embrace,
Until I have looked into her wild eyes,
And drunk deeply of her wisdom.
