Forged Love

Shaking starts and breathing stops
Trust is gone and hope is lost

Wrought by pain no longer numbed

With bleeding wounds I smile for you
Knowing you still see every penetration

I was headed towards your sweet embrace

But the cross was too heavy, I was too weak
Countless times I've stumbled the opposite way

Your hands were extended

Both providing great help

One carried me, the other my cross

I dove into your heart

Fearless and anxious

I had no idea love could be so different

Different from what I lacked

Different from what I'd felt

Yet different in a good way

I never thought I need someone
Someone to show me what love really is
But now I understand that what I'd felt before
That was not love

You've made a humble stone beat once more

And gave me a valid reason to endure

Shaking stops and breathing starts

Trust is established and hope is found

Forged by love in it's own new name
