YOU WERE AS I AM
You were as I am,
Tended in tenderness,
Remembering the past,
Holding on to the last.
You were as I am,
Leading a carefree life,
Walking a careful path,
Stumbling at every cart block.
You were as I am,
Ordered by all,
Bothered by none,
Loved by one.
You were as I am,
Gripped by fear,
Girded by flair,
Rounded by spears.
You were as I am,
Great in thoughts,
Creative in action,
Active in silence.
You were as I am,
Glamorous in beauty,
Clamoured in love,
Armoured in gloves.
You were as I am,
Heavy in heart,
Levied on earth,
Revised in art.
You were as I am,
Speech in silence
Thoughtful in solitude,
Apologetic in right.
You were as I am,
Inspiring my words,
Penning my thoughts,
Acting my acts.
You were as I am,
Created by virtue,
Moulded in love,
Reformed in chastity.
You were as I am,
Breaking bonds,
Creating normality in abnormalities,
Spurring inner power to success.
You were as I am,
Creating a future,
Making a rupture,
Living my nature.
You were as I am,
Loving in disguise,
Daring to dear,
Caring for my heartfelt.
