Undeserving

I think about love often

I think about it in the sunlight

And my love is as deep as the ocean is pervasive

Yet you are undeserving

In your weary eyes, I see your sins

In your tired face, I see regret

You are undeserving of kindness

You who have hurt so many in your path

You who cause pain for your benefit

You who have not paid back the sacrifices made for you

You who wants love eternal but cannot love back

I understand compassion

I understand my mistakes

I know I am undeserving too

Truth be told, we are all undeserving

I learned long ago, love is not something to be earned

Love is something to be given freely

And so I give it freely to you

As it was given to me
