Unconditional

I asked you to let me be your comfort when in pain love you when all is hate carry the hurts that is holding you back be the tears that transform into smiles but you chose to let pride and fear be in control You asked me to Be the rock that keeps you grounded But to be still and watch your agony Share your joy but hide from your pain let you push me away amidst thunders But I chose to stay and be a silent presence You have it… my soul or my heart Near you, I feel every single past ache and emotion Every sad look like a blade cutting my soul But your smiles is worth a thousand cuts You have me… and I'll always be there for your needs All I want is to help you carry your sorrows I have it…a small piece of your soul or heart Though you have long claimed and enslaved mine Yet you don’t understand the connections Blinded by fear and previous deceptions You stand on the verge of caution Not realizing every other love pale in comparison When I slip you feel The curse of damnation like it was all an illusion That the purest of all love becomes nothing but a dream And everlasting love only last an instant I can’t blame you for caution and self-preservation But I can’t be condemned for others’ past transgression When you slip I feel devastated but never disappointed or betrayed because no offense is too big to let go and forgive No matter how its hurt is better to have you Because you are worth a thousand fights and to have you is to hold you endlessly You say love is pain and don’t last forever It only brings doubt, shame, betrayed, and despair It makes your heart angry and brings you daily disappointment It only provides a fake blanket of security It is a two- edged sword that cut deeper than deception You feel you can live better without it I say Love is eternal when it’s nurture for eternity But when neglected it can be futile and ephemeral Yet I rather live in the illusion of forever than the constant doubt of what ifs I believe every joyful second with you is worth a million pains Even if you let go I’ll still love knowing you and loving you As memories of you will fill my empty days of pain with bittersweet bliss You ask me to be your rock I’ll be the constant wall you can always lean on I’ll be a better constant than change if you let me My love cut deep and so much stronger than yours Yet I won’t let go of what my soul have claimed Because you are worth one thousand fights but I won’t hold you back If freedom from my love Will make you happy....
