Vivo Para Su Amor

How I long for her touch
So sweet and E'er encompacing
Tis' saddening to know such
hesitation, such fear

Her hand trembles
inches from mine own
To take gaze of her eyes
those entrancing gems

One would know the nights cold, dark
raging imprisonment
To touch her heart and feel a childs longing
for freedom and innocence
it's almost most too much to bear with my own soul

How I long for a moment in her truest nature
a scared girl protected by anger, so tough and weary
of the next to bring pain, abandon and abuse

Who is this who holds me captive?
What will make her whole again?
What gives her strength to dare to love and be merry?

To know a comfort known only as a baby in it's
mothers arms would
So many souls crossed, so little direction
It is but a mere dream,

How I long to be the protector, to hold her in safety
to watch the world change, grass grow
people come and go
All the while never letting go of her hand
All that I know and love would be nothing if not even for
the soft smile from my love

I love this poem, it says everything perfectly about whats happened and describes my feelings. I love you Ruben, you are my protector, I need you to sleep at night, I need to be able to hold you in my arms and kiss you, you are my strength to stand up to my mom, you make me happy. I love you daddy!~
