Weakness (unfinished draft)

We have weakness
so we have reason
for each other
and we hold our joy in canyons
carved away by sadness.


We have weakness
so we have reason
for each other.
I'll hold you through the night
and never let you go.
Though others may look on
and call this madness,
We know in our depths that we are right.

Come try to dry your eyes
upon my shoulder.
Your makeup stains my shirt
but I don't mind.
(This senseless mess
keeps you from any answer.)
I search for words to help you see again.


We have weakness
so we have reason
for each other.
He never learned
and you burned through it all.

Test the irons
and rage against the ribbing;
Our hearts beat strong
against a steadfast will.
