I would love you to be free
I love you because you’re broken
Because your heart is made of feathers
And I weigh the souls against them
But they never were so light
I love you because you’re mine
And for every lie you’ve spoken
I’ve laid to rest the bitter thoughts
So that you may speak your mind
I love you because you’re perfect
Though you hide inside this error
Every torture you sustain
Need not be a noble venture
I love you because you’re fragile
Because your soul is so beautiful
Yet you hide under a dark cloud
As though you were conjecture
I love you because you won’t
Though the possibility exists
But you rest your heart in murky waters
And your dreams become defeat
I love you, love you, love you
But understand this matter well
And these humans think it matters
But then they believe in hell
I love you like no love could ever bear to be repressed
And you think I do not love you and I wish you to confess
But I love you, love you, love you
And I wish you could see
That all you need is to love you
I would love you to be free
Because your heart is made of feathers
And I weigh the souls against them
But they never were so light
I love you because you’re mine
And for every lie you’ve spoken
I’ve laid to rest the bitter thoughts
So that you may speak your mind
I love you because you’re perfect
Though you hide inside this error
Every torture you sustain
Need not be a noble venture
I love you because you’re fragile
Because your soul is so beautiful
Yet you hide under a dark cloud
As though you were conjecture
I love you because you won’t
Though the possibility exists
But you rest your heart in murky waters
And your dreams become defeat
I love you, love you, love you
But understand this matter well
And these humans think it matters
But then they believe in hell
I love you like no love could ever bear to be repressed
And you think I do not love you and I wish you to confess
But I love you, love you, love you
And I wish you could see
That all you need is to love you
I would love you to be free

Good movement, good music, good imagery. While it is the most common subject of all in poetry, it does not become cliche, nor repeat much of the past. Thumbs up.

I love this poem. very beautiful. thanks. I enjoy how the person the narrator loves is very humanly portrayed with contradictions and a wide range of traits.
