Would you have me kneel in your presence?
      It isn’t your feet that keep me coming back.

Do you want me to say that I will never love,
have never loved another this way?
      They made me into the person you claim
      just as your lessons are shaping me now.

Should I look to you first and last
and everywhere, all the times in between?
      I will not depend on anyone that that way
      and I thought you understood.

I think you’ve invested too much in hyperboles
but open your eyes now, because I can run from the blind.
You cannot set your dreams so high, I will not reach them
with you holding me down so low.

My stars still shine just as bright
when compared with your eyes. There is no fire
and just as well, because burning and smoke
can be dangerous
unsteady.

Would you have me crumble before you, lover?
      because love should be a place where I can always stand tall.

Love always allows you to be proud...

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

I've been in that crumbling place before

I guess that's the difference between infatuation and love

good write!

hang the hyperboles Lauren
and stand tall
