Don’t Be Loyal to Me

Don’t be loyal to me
Be loyal to you

Search your gut
employ your instincts
fire your critic
tune out the noise
and bet on yourself
every time

Your allegiance to yourself
is so alluring
I don’t always love
what you choose
but I love you
and I know you love me too

We make our bed
in our deep love
side by side
and when we arise
we sometimes go
in very different ways

I don’t need you
to stay with me
all the time
I know you carry me
in your deepest places
as I carry you

Don’t be loyal to me
be loyal to you
