Love and Baggage
You had me blown out, baggage and baffled
Our love was on the ropes
Blockages of darkness crawling, festering
To trust in you as much
As a clown painted black
A dirge without delivery
In shame and ruthlessness
I determined to press nerves
Or venture without substance
But when the storm and wreckage passed
I still hear your voice crystallized
The shining gem of your impetuousness
Slowly you pull me back
And offer your greatest hope
As excitement turns the page
