Bare

found it
Love that is
She, it, took me by surprise
And wouldn't let go
I did fight, I truly did
I used every logical bone in this broken old body
And she healed me
Simple patient understanding
I found love. 

Disdain found me
It did
And it fought through insult
And anger
It tried to test and tear me
Tear us
Steal away this joy
And she healed me
Simple patient understanding
I found love

Vengeance came
To steal my time away
To fight my happiness
Through material stolen
Not able to live as self
And she healed me
Simple patient understanding
I found love

And she gave me her heart
And showered me in trust
She shared in my weakness
And bolstered my strength
She moved in with my shadows
And cast me with light
And honored me with love
And body
And mind and soul 
And Her hand

And she healed me
My soul bare, bleeding, and raw
Simple patient understanding
I found love
