Nowhere

Nowhere

I’m not going anywhere.
I will wait for you to learn
not to flinch from my touch,
not to see malice in my actions,
or conspiracy in my words.

I will wait past your fears.
Love you through the moments
when pushing me away
is your mind’s way
of saving you.

I will wake up beside you
even when you go to bed alone,
in your heart, having built a wall
even God will have trouble penetrating.
My love, I am going

nowhere.
