about relying upon
being depended on
granting recognition to
someone in their need
so long as love is
not taken for granted
(and you Love I took
and granted) but I am
and granted) but I am
still here as if
waiting for return
I was not waiting
not expecting with
exploring, as I
will always be, as
long as I get some
reciprocity; even now
I do not, but
I have strength enough
to lead - people
like to be lifted up even
when they are not
ankle deep in vomit
and spilled condoms
