Resolve

Many a time

Have I been foolish

In love before

  

But now all I can hope

Is that I will be foolish

No more

    

I pray my patience

And undying love

Will not be for naught

    

I hope that my prayers

For his rescue

Will find not be forgot

     

My hope for him is strong

And my prayers, concise,

Yet never too long

     

My heart for him is true

And my love,

Pierces through

      

His eyes, when ours meet

Are still recognizable

Though his words, at times, despise-able

    

Though he runs through chaos

Insecure, searching in vain

I have felt it all, all his pain

    

At present, though it seems

He has no resolve

Ah! Soon! Fear will soon dissolve

      

My heart is content

I have found rest, peace

For I know chaos will soon cease
