“Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always
one more time.”
Maya Angelou

“I’ve tried to love”
She said
“and it doesn’t work”
“I’ve been hurt, disappointed, betrayed”
“I’ve tried to love”
He said
“and it doesn’t work”
“People take advantage of me, I don’t feel safe”
It is difficult to trust love
One more time
And one more time again
Love is not safe
It often cedes control
It gives and gives
And sometimes does not receive
Raw power seems so much more effective
It struts and boasts
And gets its way
But love builds
Affirms, forgives, soothes
And though it sometimes falters
And sometimes seems to fail
In the end it deserves our trust
It deserves our all
For in the end only love
That is fierce
And goes all the way
All the way
Perhaps
To death
Can lift us up
