Alloy Heart


put my heart in words
every beat speaks your name
as you become my pulse
when love is death
I come alive on the other side
of the end of me

counting moments to memories
these our days of small beginnings
reservations made to make vows
speaking the echo
reinforcing confidence derived
affirming in time
it's not enough to say I love you

apart from the ways that say it every day
I'm an alloy being refined
extracting impurity from a heart of gold
oh that you would know your face
as I see it

till it reflects your beauty back to you
when lovely isn't something
you’re waiting to become
but the very essence of who you are...
