If you must fight for me
don’t fight in times of fear of loss
don’t lower yourself to grovel or
bend in places not meant to bend
Spare me the reminders of happy happenings
don’t attempt to lure to the surface a
softer loving version of me that
you watch sink into unknown depths
Those weapons of lovefare
have rusted knocked dull and will
thud against my calloused skin
If you must fight for me
Fight for me while my heart happily
purrs in the warmth and safety of your lap
fight for me in times of peace
and silence
stillness
comfort
If you must fight for me
be savage with kisses that
snatch away low moments
Pierce my flesh with stares of admiration
Scrape me down with a flirty compliment
Claw a path through the guts of space to
draw yourself into me as if it's
the only place you ever belonged
Inhale my exhales
Exhale for my inhales
Hang on
Allow a lingering embrace time to
entangle and constrict
any divisive concern that
roams our connection's corridors
If you must
fight for me
be ruthless and ugly to
commit to our beauty
Hunt with a jagged loving
disposition that is bloodthirsty
for a quiet conversation
on some park bench
of a perfect early evening
where the sun begins
her
rest
…
Hold my hands
Lock into my eyes
Be HERE with me
On your feet
With a straight proud spine to bask
within the bountiful harvest of
what is and
whats earned
Seed sown
If you must fight for me
Fight for me
but
Fight then
Not now
Fight then
For now
Fight
