Antonia Two

Before you came for me, who carried your light, lost across the sea, they say it isn't you, in whispered prayers at night, do they know the truth, somewhere at my feet, I lost all the signs, I’m supposed to believe, even with your news, a power beyond my sight, I am not without virtue, love is a bitter feed, it always asks me why, if something needs to be, wolves howl at the moon, words fall ill at ease, some mask an open tomb, broken on my knees, won't you wait a while, if you could only see, love lights my smile.
