singled out and shocked
appreciated with a stern glare
you see the faults and love
with a care, held
support and family
both wanted yet none found
unable to live alone
searching until compassion is in sight
a pact gone wrong
left out alone isolated gone
a hand reaches out
grapsed
clutched
you see the faults and love
held in safety
defiant and warm
embraced and nurtured
just because larger scale
does not mean they are strong
you see the faults and love
a kinship unlike another
the match started in a dark place
growing blaze
too hot or not enough
it doesn’t matter
you see the faults and you love
running running slowly walking
there is no release from the heat of flame
deep within us
