To Risk Love

If I never took a risk

There'd be no jagged scars

Furrowed on this mortal soul

Nor engraved upon my heart

If I never took a risk

No scars would map the places

Of battles lost and won

No trophies for those races

If I never took a risk

There'd be no gaping place

Chiseled from my heart

Carving out for you a space

But since I took that risk

The wounds of risk have healed

Sealing you inside of me

In those empty places that you've filled
