Poem

All We Need

I've never loved a man before
I usually wasted my time on fools
Who still could love another --
That, or they were tools.

Pity how the cynicism
Can always get in the way
Of sweetening the love we have;
I regret so many things I say.

But beyond the cold exterior,
There lies the deepest adoration
That needs only your love in return
To drive it from the brink of starvation

And if, given prompt and chance,
I can break bonds of hate and naivete,
Perhaps I can look deeper, then
And discover all you've given to me;

And if then, the habits broken,
The days will go with happy speed
Unto the time that we can say
Together; That's all we need.
