Outside In

OUTSIDE IN

IN MY LOVER I FIND STRENGTH
IN MY LOVER I FIND RESOLVE
IN MY LOVER I FIND DETERMINATION
IN MY LOVER I FIND TOMORROW BETTER THAN TODAY
IN MY LOVER I FIND COMFORT
IN MY LOVER I FIND AN ALLY
IN MY LOVER I FIND HEALING
IN MY LOVER I FIND INSPIRATION
IN MY LOVER I FIND HOPE
IN MY LOVER I FIND GUIDANCE
IN MY LOVER I FIND SOMEONE WHOSE HEART I KNOW FOR SURE SHARES MINE AND I HERS
IN MY LOVER I FIND THE WILL TO CAST OFF SHADOWS
IN MY LOVER I FIND THAT WHICH I WISH I HAD FOUND FORTY YEARS AGO
IN MY LOVER I FIND ENCOURAGEMENT
IN MY LOVER I FIND A REASON FOR ME TO FEEL, AT LAST, A SENSE OF PRIDE
IN MY LOVER I FIND A STUDENT
IN MY LOVER I FIND A TEACHER
IN MY LOVER I FIND A LOVER WHO ALSO WANTS TO BE MY BEST FRIEND
IN MY LOVER I FIND THE SOUND OF MY HONEST LAUGHTER AFTER A VERY LONG TIME
IN MY LOVER I FIND A WOMAN WHO MAKES ME THINK OF HER WHEN I OPEN MY WEARY EYES
                  INSTEAD OF REALIZING I HAVE ANOTHER DAY TO DRINK OR DRUG
                  AWAY
IN MY LOVER I FIND A LADY WITH YOUTHULNESS MIXED WITH CONFUSION AND CONFIDENCE
IN MY LOVER I FIND A VICTIM TURNED SURVIVOR
IN MY LOVER I FIND A REASON TO SURVIVE
IN MY LOVER I FIND MY LOVER’S HEART BEATING INSIDE MINE
IN MY LOVER
