Wounded

I hope someday you can find it in your heart to extend your forgiveness that undeserved kindness for having openly hurt you but in truth it is my own reproach I do not trust myself so that placing a wedge between us will keep us from dishonor I want to love you openly not a rendezvous or tryst of drunken desire but that of a cherished loved one whom you live with honor and respect and not something tawdry but glorious and approved I would rather prick you now than be the cause of death in you preferable a bruising of you that can heal than arrows of death in you When you can make the choice of letting love have its perfect work and faithful in every respect I would rather bear your reproach than endanger your life before God I left the ways of the world long ago the endless wanton self serving desire where sex is simply a handshake hello and not the tender bonding of two souls into one unity of truth for life I would give my life to and for you but I will not throw both ours away this throwaway society where everything and everyone is just so much trash to be used then tossed aside , disposed of I do not want that for either of us trash or treasure that choice is yours a building and not a tearing down forgive please this pain I have placed upon you you are too precious I desire the building of you and not the tearing apart and down when you can understand the gravity of your choices and the resultant end it is your benefit I seek in an approved way before God and not the temporary pleasure of sin this is the love I want for both of us the kind that is thoughtful and lasting and walks in the truth together when you can openly ask me to trust and love you for life and understand this burden the answer will be yes and Amen COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
