The Alternative

When the times get hard and you feel hopeless I will believe in you

I will compensate for every deficiency and flaw that you perceive that you have

See you may not feel as if you are perfect

But you are perfect for me

The empty hands that I have need to be filled with your physical

See my mind is already occupied by you and your essence

Our luxury is our engagement

Our participation in us even our perception

I keep saying that you sell yourself too short and you are magnificent

I always am grateful that your father and mother created you

I know we all belong to God but it has to be hard for God to see you released

God has to miss you

See as I kiss you I feel something angelic

It calls my nature to attention

It makes my blood rush in a call to reproduce

In a tribute to you I want to recreate us

And I want to weigh heavy on your heart when we are apart

I want you to seek safety with me

Let me shelter you from even myself when I am not right

Let me reflect the sun rays in your eyes and participate in your happiness

Let's adjust to each other and show the world how to love

I am your alternative, your option lady

You do not have to settle for your less

Here is so much more

So much more of what you deserve

And I am pleased to stay inside of you

And only you

Until your view darkens and rests like the setting sun

With your head against my chest
