Inspiration

I offer these words to you with all my heart

Held faintly trembling in cupped hands

Filled with all the thoughts I could never speak

And the love I could forever share with you

I’ve cut my own heart strings

And bled myself dry

So that I could still send these messages to you

Wanton and open and unabashedly devoted

All the years, the feelings are the same

Time has not worn them down

They are too strong, too stubborn

To ever give in to such petty things as fear and shame

This is my promise to you

This is my most sacred vow

That these words will eternally tie us together

Golden strings forged of destiny’s inescapable fibers

Invisible to all save us

But nonetheless, strong as always and forever
