This is Love to me

Few can understand it.
But the fact is:
I am not well most of the time.
And I really suffer.

Hours like this can seem an eternity.
And I feel all my armour slipping
off of me.

One of the strangest things
I will never understand
is how someone
who has shown such strength -
can hurt so much?

...

I'm better now.
And I appreciate feeling my Love's warmth
and his little ones tight embrace.


"This is Love to me,"
sings my musical hero.
My champion whose words and lyrics
have moved me to such angst and beauty
that only one with my head could truly,
truly feel and recognize
the purity and pain captured in a dissonant chord
and a single sentence of a lyric.

I need this lullabye tonight.
Now I am 'not alone'.
