heart.

if you should collapse
who would carry you out
to fresh air
take care of you
?
i have faith
that you would
save my life
not because
you know
i would do it for you
not because
i am me
because i am
no one special
here or anywhere
in this world
but because of who
i have faith that you are
and if i were
if i am
wrong
anger is not the first
emotion i would feel
it would be
bitter disappointment
in who i though you were
or should be
you should save that life
because of who you are
because of the man or woman
you can be
it's about you
no one else
you
are
strength
you
are
human
you are
integrity
dignity
but
you must decide
if that is you
i made these choices
over 25 years ago
they have become
who i am
civility
may mean something else
to you
but
it all boils down
to trying to do
what you feel
is right
inside
...
