Variable

You think because you failed suddenly I don’t love you?

You think because you held another closer now I’ve turned away?

You’ve said those terrible words.  I heard you.

You’ve thought those blackened thoughts.  I saw them.

You shoved a hurting man away.  I felt it.

And now you cower in the darkness.  You think that’s where you belong.

NO.        I’M STILL HERE.

The only thing that can ever change is the circumstance, love. 

I want you just the same.

I care just the same.

I love you just the same, child.

There’s never going to be a variable there.
