A Woman

I'm in love with a woman

A woman I barely know

And it is because of this woman

I can never go home

I'm in love with a woman

A woman so beautiful

Just the smile from this woman

Is enough to damn my soul

I'm in love with a woman

A woman that breaks my heart

But it's because of this woman

The pieces are no longer apart

The stitches may tear

Open, to expose the wounds

Of past hurts and cares

That are more than just a bruise

But soon to mend just like anew

I'm in love with a woman

A woman I'll never truly know

And it is because of this woman

I've learned to breathe so very slow

I'm in love with a woman

A woman so wonderful

Just the eyes of this woman

Is enough to make me feel whole

I'm in love with a woman

A woman who stole my heart

And it is because of this woman

I've found my way back to the start

A place of forgiveness

Freedom, love, and peace

No fear or worry

Just curiosity

Now I can be happy

I'm in love with a woman

Do you think she loves me too?

Oh if only this woman

Didn't have to choose

I'm in love with a woman

Forever, I'll love her so

But it's because of this woman

I must learn to let her go

The stitches may tear

Open, to expose the wounds

Of past hurts and cares

That are more than just a bruise

But soon to mend just like anew
