For the Muse that Keeps Me Saving

Your smile
Melts my heart
Into submitting
To the written word;

Inside, I know
It's been my words
That has kept
Your body tall,
And your lips
Stretched.

It may not be love
Expressed in its
Overused phrase;

But it's care that
Keeps me sane
And your soul
Earthed,
And allows two
Friends to love.
