dear love

I  am falling slowly
without my own consent
into your arms
or into a dark abyss

and, you have fought
dear patient love
for the right to hold my hand
and, as I put up my iron walls
you sought to understand

oh how you have won me
they say that love is war
but with you I fought no
battles, and that made me
love you more  

now I dream of you
and my thoughts give me no rest  
you make me feel like I am safe
but is it all a jest
