The Tenants of My Heart
Unconditional love is what I crave
 But to thy own self be true
 Therefore, I am a slave
 A slave to my desires and the boy I long to touch
 The one that I think God showed me,
 so that it wouldn’t hurt so much
 The one that He let me get close to,so I could get closer to Him
 So I could truly think and feel, 
 instead of just pray on a whim
 Of all the things he could've sketched or written, 
 on the back of that shiny card
 He wrote the words "Love Me" 
 with planets and wings and hearts
 "I can! I will! I already do!" 
 Is what I want to say
 But I know that he chose another
 So I save the words for another day
 Unrequited and Unconditional, 
 two loves that couldn’t be farther apart
 But, somehow, they both have found a way to reside together in my heart.
