“Do you not fear me?” he asked
and I did
I feared him so much
with awe and respect
that I bent my knees to him
I tore my want from my chest
and I made my body obey
even when it felt a certain way
until I was what I needed to be
for him
for love
for my life
and I sparkled like innocence
and shined like his resplendent presence
and I mirrored his love
for as much as I had been given
because I had been given overabundantly
and I had to admit I would not exist
without his kindness and mercy
and I had only gratitude,
I would accept with mildness
some heartache and hard times
until he deemed it the right time
to give me you
