Fragile Echoes

Our love rhymes:
Do poems sound like a test?
Know that there is so much love I have here.
You can hear it in my chest.

What we are now is because of our past,
But do past mistakes define my ability to love?
If I question you:
'Are you still in doubt?'

This love is fragile
That even a deadly stare can kill us.
But I’ll fight because I should,
For that’s the best way to protect us.

There are some gloomy days,
I paint grief on your face.
Time will tell when love can be divulged,
At the right place."
