Intentional Love

 On purpose, I wanted to be loved,

A deliberate act, pure and true,

For I never loved on accident,

It was always a choice, a deliberate intent.

I hold my sadness deep inside,

A silent daze, a hidden sorrow.

In my chest, in my eyes, in my teeth to hide,

It stays still, unspoken and unseen,

As I try to be strong and serene.

You are not a bad person, I know,

For the ways you tried to let your sadness go,

It's a battle that we all have to fight,

And sometimes it takes all our might.

So love me with all your heart,

And we'll face our sadness, never to part,

Together we'll find the strength to heal,

And make our hearts happy and whole again, for real.

Where will I find a soul like this,

I need someone to love.

To find beauty in life's hidden claws,

And create a universe of endless love.
