Poem: I Love Another More Than Myself

 I love another more than myself

Yes, how wondrous we were then

My heart broke free of its bony cage.


Saints transfixed by a heavenly gaze

A love that evades my humble pen

I love another more than myself.


Eyes that ask if I will stay

When I was not the one who left

My heart broke free of its bony cage.


You'd think that I'd make someone pay

You'd think that I'd avenge the theft, but

I love another more than myself.


My soul can breathe each waking day

With joy I cry and remember when

My heart broke free of its bony cage.


You punctured what was rough and decayed

You ripped, and a little lamb, I bled

I love another more than myself

My heart broke free of its bony cage.
