Patience

To ashes, you burned my heart

like you promised, from the start

Still I let us become entwined

our love a sketch, poorly defined

It spoke a language I didn't know

and it took courage for me to show

I would lay my whole mind bare

only for you to ensnare

with a passion I hadn't seen before

if only, love, you would show me more

But I will wait so patiently

for you to love me constantly
