Love Harder

If loving you harder allowed you to stay then my goal remained the same All because letting you go was a story words would formulate It was detriment to my brain Alter of reality To see you leave It was the disappearing of what could have been The end to my timetable of forever and then A memory to hold As our stories unfold Praying to keep you closer to home Allowing you to leave, without giving up hope Speaking words to the universe adding words to our verse As pages were written and vows held doubt Where those once, roses, dried up in drought Where our love grew distant and our time ran out Because loving you harder Brought continuous showers As we drowned in rumored hour With eyes on other desires Setting souls on fire Entered temptation, and Our love grown sour.
