You
persistently and insistently
speak love into my life
giving comfort and solace
even as I try to deny I need help
You see through me
You see into me, into my heart
and simply state ‘I love you’
no more or less than that
for me to respond or react
irregardless
You speak love into me
the medicine I don’t want to take
and need so desperately to live
there is no denying or demurring
You
persistently and insistently
speak love into my life
and I am grateful.
