Don't Tread on My Heart for James
I found a loophole in your heart
And it spoke to me
Don’t tread on me, it said
I searched for a way around it
As others had
Closed the door
So no one could get in anymore
Instantaneously your heart softened
And the tense interaction
You had with the otherworld
And memories of torment
Began to fade away
I saw you laugh again
And mean it
Your wrinkles faded
And color returned to your face
The calluses disappeared
But the guitar continues
To strum its beat around you
I imprinted a kiss upon your lips
And you likened back
Akin to sunshine & red roses
Synonymous to love
For you truly love me now
The gate is down between us
The hurricane has settled
I look at your eyes and
We arise towards each other
Both standing tall
Both renegade
Both free from disaster.
And it spoke to me
