and over.

Because I love you.

I’ll stand by you

Because I refuse

Refuse

Refuse

Refuse to lie

Refuse to lie

About Love—

Or hate—

And…I’ll be there for you

With you

(Because I love you)

As you reach down

To grasp a stone..Only to let it go….

to find a larger

Stone.

And because I love you,

I’ll stand by you

As you throw stones at me

And I’ll agree

With any

And every

reason

or fault

or shortcoming

or failure of mine.

I will be as wrong

As faulty

as anything you say I am.

Because I love you.

And I’ll stand by you

While you throw those stones

At me.

Over.

And

Over.

And over.

Because I love you.

I will

I need to

I have to

Understand why

The stones are cast.
