Conversation Among The Ruins

You Owe Me Nothing In Return…

I'll give you careless amounts of out right 
 
Acceptance if you want it. I'll give you 
 
Encouragements to choose the path 
 
you want if you need it.
 
You can speak of anger and doubts,
 
Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it.
 
You can share your so-called 
 
Shame filled accounts of times in your life 
 
and I won't judge it.
 
And there are no strings attached,
 
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
 
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
 
I give you thanks for receiving; it's my privilege,
 
And you owe me nothing in return. 
 
 You can ask for space for yourself 
 
And only yourself and I'll grant it.
 
You can ask for freedom as was
 
Or time to revel and you'll have it.
 
You can ask to live by yourself
 
Or love someone else and I'll support it.
 
You can ask for anything you want 
 
Anything at all and I'll understand it.
 
I bet you're wondering when
 
The next payback you'll eventually drop.
 
I bet you're wondering when my conditions 
 
or policies will force you to cough up.
 
I bet you're wondering how far 
 
you now have danced moved back into dead.
 
This is the only kind of love 
 
As I understand it that there really is.
 
You can express your deepest of truths
 
Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it.
 
You can fall into the abyss
 
On the way to your bliss
 
And I'll empathize with.
 
You can't say that you'll have to skip town
 
To chase your passion and I'll hear it.
 
You can leave and hit rock bottom 
 
have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it.
