LOVE

LOVE

There was something they never told me

How love can tear you apart

How it takes all the strength you have

To heal a broken heart

I couldn't show up

Or take a chance

I didn't have the courage

For love or romance

It takes solid human beings

To lose themselves to love

To be intimate, vulnerable

All of the above

I kept my heart so guarded

Closed off from the world

I couldn't take the chance of breaking

I became a rose, tightly furled

The pain of holding passion

In a heart, too afraid to love

Love was something out of reach

​​​​​​​Something I only dreamed of

I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear that you know this kind of pain, you are too young to live life lonely.   Don't let years pass you by, like I did! Thank you Charlotte!

I totally agree Cherie. I believe in 2nd chances, in endless chances.
I believe everyone deserves to be loved.
*To have loved and to have known love; is the essence of LIFE- called LIVING! It's the very reason we inhale, exhale and breathe. 
I have some BIG barriers to overcome. With patience and love, I'll either get there or I'll die trying! Thank you Cherie
