Talk to me in love words

Breathe your sweet breath into my soul

Touch my skin until I can’t bear the fire

Then consume me in the flames

Whisper stories of the battles

Once fought with tears and pain

Now how they lay at our feet

Never to rise again

Speak to me about loss and anger

Our scars share the history of broken dreams

Your eyes sadden at the memories

I hang my head in shame

What lies ahead my dear heart

Is unknown as yet

But you talk to me in love words

And our journey finds hope
