Words

If I tell you that I love you

Will you believe the words,

Or call me for a fool

And say I’m just a silly girl?

Will your walls begin to crack

Or will you build them up tall,

Call in your reinforcements

Or let your heart begin to fall?

As I predict the outcome

With the words on my breath

I feel the blood gather

On the left side of my chest.

The seconds slow their ticking

As the pitter patter hastes.

My knees begin to weaken

While my heart makes her case.

Instantly your eyes

Dilate at the sight

As the words from my lips

Pierce the silence of this night.

Call me a liar

If you don’t believe my truths

For its been hours, days, years

Since I started loving you.

Our Wedding Day

My friend, my love,

The autumn leaves have fallen

And thus too have I                              

In love with you again.

Forget those who forget us,

Forgive those who forbid us,

For today the sun rises for us two.

From now until forever

Winter, spring and summer,

My heart will still remain yours

And as the sun is setting,

October air is chilling,

Your love will warm me to the core.

So take these hands and I thee wed.

May all who gather here

Bless this love declared today

And celebrate with cheer.
