I lived,
day after unforgiving day,
no questions asked.
Night after night,
through the weirdness of my faith,
I taught myself how to love.
How to love more,
how to love and not complain
How to find joy in the same dance
over and over again.
Even though I abandoned the dance,
the love never left me.
It follows whoever dares to walk
Heart open,
Hands empty
