Doing my best (2012-13)

 

 How far is too far

And how much is not enough,

Binding ourselves tight

With this need for love,

Trading away any sense of freedom,

For a promise of tomorrow,

Bound tight

My wrists and ankles raw,

Waiting for her to do

What she can,

What she must,

Because the chance

Might not come again,

I spill my seed on the strands of rope

She ties me with,

Like white blood,

In a world where if I don’t genuflect

I still get bent over.

What is best for us to do,

To resist or give in,

To surrender our will

For promises that might never

Transpire,

To bleed and be bled

In the name of love
