A VOW

If I return to you 

I return to me. 

When I give to you, 

I must learn what that means. 

Do I love what is 

Or am I safe in how it seems? 

Do I let love hold truth,

Or do I see through pain’s beliefs? 

If I choose you

I choose everything. 

If I love you, I must see that we

Each

Are free.
