I Bow To Love

What has been given, And for what taken. I measure. Because I smile at nothing And weep for all. For that I bow down to love. Pain it gives, I take without murmurs, And never giving her a full smile. But always, a complete gaze With her back to me. The girl, which was my home. Where fear and anger would Never be thought a guest. The love which every day, reminds me, and lets me fall slowly. For the peace it gave And the life it created. My destiny was shaped, I was changed. To everything that happened, I thought it was Perfect. For that I bow down to love.
