So Be It

If only my heart could beat in my home

Do my wrists have to bleed for you to know I'm alone?

While you say I'm the greatest thing that happened,

I say what are the chances that we met in that fashion?

You could take every sample and average or mu

But it's simple, I'm giving you a chance because I don't regret you.

Not the summer nights pushed by wind on the lake,

Not even your dusty touch that broke my ribs and pierced through my heartache.

You're the one I think of when I'm holding his hand in my favorite diamond earrings

And one day, when I stand in front of our judge, the Lord's hearings

Do you know what I'll say?

I wouldn't have had life any other way

The heavens don't hate, they test.

Don't cuss the stars, they'll take care of the rest

Think of the memories, didn't we have a good run?

But it isn't even the end, it's only just begun

We got a whole life of loving ahead

And I'll love others too, but never instead.

So I guess all I ask is that when you get the chance

Take my hand so I don’t feel lost in this expanse.

Make yourself into my home

So that I can breathe and feel so far from alone.

Whatever our name, we're a perfect fit

So when you leave again I'll look from you, to God, and back

And say so be it.

Is that a vow? It sounds a little like one. I agree with Anna. That was my favorite line too.

The diamond ear ring line threw me off though. I don't understand what you meant to say there.

Yes, it's a vow to love him forever, even if we aren't together. I'm glad you pointed out the earrings part, its more of a personal story. He loved this pair of earrings and i always wore them for him, so in the poem I'm saying I will think of him whenever I wear them. I will try to think of a way to clarify. Thanks for reviewing!

My favorite line,"And I'll love others too, but never instead." She just openly admits that she'll truly love only him. Beautiful.
