i love you.

when my muscles are sore and my body is weak
when i lay in bed with my face bare
when i'm too tired to hardly speak
the thought of you will keep me there.
it will keep me from thinking of fates unkind
or the parts of my body that are wrong
it will take almost everything off of my mind
and give me something better to hold on
because you love me and i'm your choice
though you're a king and i'm a peasant
you speak for me far beyond my voice
the beauty of you keeps me in the present.
the stress of upcoming events grows steady
and i worry and i fear and i ache
my darling, if i keep the thought of you ready
theres nothing out there that i can't shake.
soon ill write poems with greater vision
and images from all latitudes
but for now, you simply settle my mind
and for that, my love and gratitude.
