You Forever Run

You run from that imp Love,
Fearing what it might do.
One and two deep wounds
is all you know or need to know.
Watch me though.
I have always run toward Love,
Hoping what it might do.
You would say I am foolish
while I say heroic, firefighter
into the burning building.
Your desire for safety and
my desire for desire never align.
