calm ache

There is little comfort
in being overcome with
a calm of this nature
so sure of my place in
your world
a lesser god of your love
and so I ache with
the longing of an innocence
I should have grown out of
many years ago
not knowing if I
really deserve enough
to expect less than your best
I know better
yet I know as little as before
