Would You Love Me

These hands remember weight they cannot hold. I tremble now, Baptized by cold. This face is a map the years have drawn. Every line a night I carried on. I walk these rooms, I still feel you. Say your name Like it might come true. I speak to silence, not out loud. Like maybe you're still around. Would you love me when my hands are worn? When time has stripped me past my form? When my voice is low, my strength is thin. Would you still see who I was within? You once placed your life in mine. So I ask you now, beyond all Time. Would you love me Like this? You Knew my quiet, knew my shame. Held my fears before I named them. You saw the good beneath the dust. Believed in grace when I lost trust. You loved the man I couldn't see. Held the faith when it left me. Now I stand where the strong don't stay. An old soul talking to yesterday. Would you love me bent by years? When hope sleeps soft and faith costs tears. If love survives what flesh can't do. Is there still a place for me with you? Oh, I don't ask heaven, I don't ask why. I just talk to you in the quiet night. I'm old, I'm alone, tell me true. Would you love me? I still talk to you. Because though you never left. She loved me When my hands were rough. And hope was thin, when nights were tough. I thought she'd stay no matter what. Didn't see the cracks Till love gave up. I don't curse her name, I don't blame the Door. Some loves just bleed till they can't no more. She didn't leave loud, she didn't fight. She just got tired on lonely nights. If I broke her heart, God knows it's true. And I lost the best part, When I lost you. Oh. I still wish you well. Even from here.
