You loved me once, maybe

You cringe and pull away
I ask you to please stay
You stand and turn to go
I keep telling you, no
You tell me I've done wrong
I've loved you all along
You say you'll stay back here
I just want you near
You say that we'll be fine
I want you for more time
But I fight to love you still, baby
All because you loved me once, maybe

I love you

Tonight I sleep beside you, not because you want me to, but because I love you, though you've forgotten how to love me.

I love to fight

He told me I must love conflict and that it seems like I love to fight.
That's not true, I rebuttle. But tonight I think it might be.
I love to fight injustice.
I love to fight for truth.
I love to fight for freedoms.
I love to fight for fairness.
I love to fight for love, for friendship, for faith.
I love to fight for beauty.
I love to fight for unity.
I love to fight for love.
So yes. It is true. I love to fight. Do you?
