The Sword of Doubt

This is not
How love’s to be
When everything is perfect
Yet doubts succeed
In choking fledgling love
In the womb

I will risk all
I risk my all
But you slay me
With the sword of doubt
And love dies on the vine

    You said you didn’t want to hurt me
    When you closed the door on love
    With the heavy sword of doubt

There is enough pain in our lives so
Believe
Put away your doubt
I forgive you
I forgive you
Will you forgive me?
