For You My Love
by Sonji Rush

If I came to your doorstep
would you welcome me in
or would you turn me away
in shame?
Would you take me to your
family in pride of knowing me?
Or say you have never
heard my name?

Would you caress me when we met
with open arms or
would you hide me away in fear
of unknown harms?

If I beckoned for your love
would you open your heart?
If I asked for your tenderness
would you kiss my tears away?
If I came to you willingly
would you give me your love?
If I whispered I love you,
what would you say?

I give my love freely,
for it is mine to give.
My love has no possessor.
My life is mine to live.
