rondel: then I woke up and saw your truth

I’d lost myself in love, I thought,
Then I woke up and saw your truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,
I will not give you all I’ve got.

My affections come earned, not bought
To love you is to jump through hoops
I’d lost myself in love, I thought,
Then I woke up and saw your truth.

Hadn’t my eye, long ago caught,,
Strayed to you and your varied moods
I’d have a different attitude.
But you captured me, as I’d sought.
I’d lost myself in love, I thought,
Then I woke up and saw your truth.

I think when you stick with concrete words and move away from the abstract your creative work works for you. - elmeer
