I'm Always Around

Heart's vibes can come and go starkly,

tiff and twist are no more so queer.

When you dive into the passion's core,

be on your toes for a lot of chagrin,

for love is constantly spine-chilling,

leaving us breathless and all at sea.

Once upon a time you were so near,

as if we were all ears to each other,

when awe and eye were swamping us.

But it was hope that flew us high,

so high that no one wished to halt,

and just one tiff needed to disengage.

You're free to leave at any time,

you're free to seek your own gladness,

you're free to exult with your own pals,

you're free to mourn with those nearby,

to enter circles that'll keep you alive.

No one has the right to keep you close,

not in the name of intimacy and amity,

for it's not the body that needs a hug,

but only heart in one's whole presence.

I'd love to get the picture day by day,

to grow in care not in a masterful way,

to leave a space for your footsteps,

to pay homage to your own choosing.

And if one day you need some ease,

you'll find me, since I'm always around.
