I want my love to be
As painful to you as it is to me
I do not want pretty lies
I want raw honesty
To know what keeps you up at night
What you dream of in the day
The longing when you touch me
And the fear when I’m away
With eyes that do not wander
That can look upon my scars
Who is not afraid of darkness
Who will be my blankets of stars
The first in the night
The last before the sun
To bring my hope to light
As I wait for you to come
