Like an intimate massage,
our lips embrace in a kiss.
And in that perfect moment,
two hearts experience bliss.
Love grows exponentially,
getting stronger with each day.
For once rooted in my soul,
nothing can take it away.
At the birth of our daughter,
my heart nearly burst with pride.
For your tears of happiness
touched me, and I cried inside.
A broken remnant of war,
I'm more manikin than man.
But love rallies around me,
and I do the best I can.
Behind a bastion of hope,
my spirit's undefeated.
And yet, deep in my being,
I can't help but feel cheated.
