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.
