all this suffering is not your fault!
You were deceived and abused—
your heart crushed by the one
whose job was to protect it.
This was not your fault:
you were deceived by a deceiver
blinded by one whose profession
is to convince others
that he speaks the truth.
If ugliness turned aside from beauty
and selfishness from love
it only means his eyes and heart
were unable to perceive
the golden treasure he held in his hands.
Keep rising from the ashes
of this exhausting devastation.
Oh, precious one, warrior woman,
do not give up!
I am with you.
Lean on me—
even just a little.
Allow me to do what he cannot—
let me love you always.
Forever.
