Love Sighs

I struggle with the meaning
of where you are tonight.
Somehow it is demeaning,
when I have been almost forthright.

No, I haven't had the courage,
nor faith enough in you,
To tell you of my secret rage,
and what I want to do.

I want to see you whole now.
Oh, desire to see you free.
Wish to see you shed the vow.
And, I need to let you be . . . .

Beloved, I have cared for you,
your mind, your soul, your being...
Although my only view of you
is just perhaps too fleeting.
