Love Poem: Reassurance

Reassurance

Bona fide reassurance to make you mine once more
Was the pledge to offer my life to yours
How could I get us back on the right track
After I made your heart like a giant marble crack

My boundless love was supposed to illuminate
To the deepest walls of your heart
To light even the furthest darkness
Would be a fantastic start

What did I do for you if anything at all
Other than mass time and effort to spend
Only for you to leave me anyway
These stories always have a rotten end

I pardoned then just to let you die
And like a young bird wishing to fly
to spread my wings to take off into the night sky
Without another moment's hesitation I'd try

Nevertheless still I say
to come knock on my door
So when you're lonely or afraid
With open arms you return once more
