Forehead Kisses

You tell me forehead kisses are for the soul
so I keep my lips to your skin as your tears fall

You tell me about the crosshairs you placed on yourself
so I hold my hand to your heart and guard its cell

You tell me you’re empty and feel no worth
so I let my smile be a mirror to show how you serve

You tell me all of your insides, your deepest truths
so I lay bare my love and show there’s nothing to prove

I tell you I’m here for the future, to help make you whole
and I’ll always kiss your forehead because that’s for the soul
