A love story in it's part

Hear my truth

She gently whispers

I only need you to accept

No judgement allowed

Can you be my listener?

Hear the facts

Her breathing shallow

I wish I knew your response

Negativity not permitted

Will you be my support?

I lit my smoke

Exhaling lightly turning to you

I nod my silent agreement

Hoping to be what you need.

Hear my case

She states flatly

I have not been who you know

No looks tolerated

Will you now acknowledge?

Hear the reality

Her gaze lifeless

I made lying to you my game

No aggression licensed

Can you now comprehend?

I grab my shirt

Moving decisively to the chair

I mutedly process your words

Wanting to be what you need.

Hear my story

She implores violently

I destroyed all that was ours

No condemnation sanctioned

Will you be my keeper?

Hear the details

Her words impassioned

I never sold my feelings for you

No resentment consented

Can you be my defender?

I lit another smoke

Staring earnestly at the burning tip

I wordlessly recognize your pain

Debating to be what you need.

Hear my gospel

She offers meekly

I yearn to be here with you

No guilt assigned

Can you now forgive?

Hear the finality

Her touch gentle

I want only your welcome

No reservation tolerated

Will you now cherish?

I take your hand

Holding tightly your delicate fingers

I dumbly give myself to you

Being what you need.
