He said I was like, “A lily among thorns”
A phrase he took from Song of Songs
And his actions always showed it
Even if we went through some storms
We slowly built our home
On a foundation of friendship and love
“You are like a lily among thorns” he could whisper
My emotions would boil up
My love for him grew bigger
It was never tough and he was all about love
He was never sinister
His face alone could minister
To me, and make me fall deeper
In the pit in his arms, slowly drowning me
With kindness and love
I was a lucky lily picked up by a dove
