Dear Love

For years I ran to everything, gods of lesser … much lesser things, Desires defiled by forces and clones, Youth holds a veil that keeps the truth from being shown, All the walks in the dark and the dances of doom, Altered my vision, my appetite became venomous perfume, If I could have grasped that all along you were there, If I would have known it was your love that cared, I would not be writing this love poem to you, For you are the one who pulls your children through, You love in ways no one on this planet can do, This is why I am thankful for you. For years I cried tears of failure and pain, Thought if I changed a mere guy I would somehow be sane, All the fights and the struggles to gain some control, Left me broken and tired with nowhere to go, If I could have seen I was an "Anything" fiend , Striving to become spotless and clean, I would not be writing this love poem to you, For you are the promise that has proven to be true, You love in ways no one on this planet can do, This is why I stay thankful to you, This is why I stay thankful to you.
