Once Thought My love -- it came hurling at you, a twirling dagger thrown with heated intentions. How could I not expect you to run -- one who never knew the bleeding of a heart was meant for more than pain. My passions, they tangled your feet in cords of disbelief. You fought off ''the high'' not wanting to land on a bed of spears. But now you see -- my hands, they only soothe you. Those cords you once thought to be weapons brought against you -- proved only to be strands of silk meant to heal your wounded heart. Irons once hot with the red sting of fear have fallen to the river's bottom. Through the steam of their dismissal, you see the wealth in my green eyes -- a reflection of loving you.
