ode to love

So often our truths lie in words of fiction,
We try to speak what's honest yet use the wrong diction.
We struggle with our heart as it battles the mind,
Not always realizing that they are two of a kind.
When our words fail us we take disguise,
Trying to hide behind that truth which can better our lives.
My love for her is the only truth, the only way.
It's the promise I can't break and the honest emotion
that will never stray.
When the sun peers through our bedroom window and
shines upon her beautiful face,
I am constantly reminded that lying beside her...
is the only place...
Beside her is the only place for me,
And in my heart will she forever be.
