Did I ever let go of us
In comittment to you?
No – not once
Always I rose
To caustic challenges
Pushing off damages
Only to watch you
Yield and then fold
Have I grown too old if
I say it was not enough
– That when tested you
Gave up gamble’s bluff
Rejecting my heart and
Our love as a past time?
My endurant support
Willfully sacrificed by
Your shaking hands
Clutching fear’s blade
Too late other men’s mouths
Have provided added weight
To belief that a rare woman
Gave to you for safekeeping
What were you thinking
When you called to say
(Almost) that you had
Made a huge mistake?
But the words never
Cleared the air pure
Still unsure of standing
In that treacherous land
Where society squeezes balls
Of a man still adhering to laws
Corrupting and distorting God’s
Truth used as a brutal bludgeon
