"Let me love this mess you are For it is mine, for I've bathed For I have relished your care And yet months later things getting strained..... You're not capable of such frost Nor so harsh no matter the cost We aren't strangers haven't become too The other part of the world, without you.. things to do This won't calm and its not meant to be Not good with words as you can see This a rough patch, priorities shift But it doesn't change "You're a gift" I might shout I might be daft But I'll take you alone on a raft To beyond, beyond problems beyond glances Where problems dissipate, where happiness prances I don't have to bribe for your smile It hurts thinking it's been a while Time alludes, expectations mount Duty promises I'm bound. Yet times I hope I can spend on my own Overlooking life, this hell I've been thrown Be there beside me is all I can ask Not easy Not petty a gargantuan task Please be beside me,for the times are tough like old wine If I tug on your heartstrings would you strum on mine? "
