My Love
Long ago I closed my heart.
Others would knock and the door just got thicker.
My heart, a vault of pain and anger,
Never allowing anyone within its steely walls
My soul, a pit
Getting deeper and darker
Occasionally a light would break the darkness
Only to be shut out by my ever pressing need to wallow in my own despair
Deeper, deeper I go
Slowly losing myself
In thoughts of revenge, hate, and self pity
Then from nowhere
A light slowly appeared
No matter how I tried
I couldn’t turn away
The closer it got
The further I shied away
Closer
Near blinding
It came
Until no longer could I deny
Your beauty first struck me
A grip on my soul that couldn’t be broken
Then your voice,
The sound of angels singing in my sleep
Your touch,
A tender relief from the searing pain
That has enveloped my very being
Making me a better person for just being in your presence
These words I put together
Can not begin to explain the emotions
I feel just at the thought of you
The thought of your fingers entwined with mine
Your silky hair cascading over my arm
As I hold you in my embrace
My heart burning with the desire
To feel yours beating next to mine
Forever yours
No other could begin to be what you have become
To me
My only hope in life is
That I may one day deserve
The love you have shown to me….
