Willingly, Another Lie



    1
    A newly discovered lie,
    Something I wouldn't admit.
    Vivian is so special
    but never wants sex again
    for the rest of her life.

    4
    We do have intimacy,
    with togetherness feelings,
    a kiss shared last week
    was as pleasurable,
    as selfish sex ever was

    7
    A seed is now planted,
    but must I, the rest of life,
    really give up intercourse
    to truly prove love for God
    is greater than liking lust..

    10
    But forever is long
    Can Tim even admit
    it's possibility.
    Previous abstinence
    Though hard brought us closer.

    13
    If there is any untruth,
    someday that will also be
    understood in my heart,
    in God's own eternity
    if I am patient enough.


2
Abandoned by my prison stay,
My selfishness thus helped
Bring about her hurting
And lack of wanting to
Apply effort to being sexual.

5
Penetration though may
always be just lust,
she each time just giving,
and I selfishly taking.
She desires it not to change.

8
As part of SA's program,
I've done an abstinence
for a few short months.
Is “all this life” an answer
God wanted me to discover?

11
Willingly? The idea
is still only a seed,
but it has been planted.
If it is a good seed
And is nourished it will grow.


3
She is giving enough
To share the act with me
but it may never be
part of our intimacy.
I see, but don't yet accept.

6
My Savior has been
telling me “be patient.”
Now I begin to see why.
Only now can I start
to see intimate truth.

9
That I must be willing
to give up the climax
in order to find a true
complete intimacy
with my Vivian.

12
a time of abstinence
12 step program suggested
may for me have no end,
and I must be willing
to accept that as possible.
