For once in my
life, I gave it all,
opened my heart and
let love flow free,
unlocked the doors
and opened the windows
totally trusting
exposing all that is me.
I welcomed love
with open arms and heart
I embraced that
love, stepping beyond the fear
For once my heart
was truly filled
and it began to
breathe again.
A love so natural,
so strong, so free,
and in that love I
became all I could be.
But then one
day...that beautiful love,
tried and convicted
me of things I did not do
found me guilty and
decided to set me free.
My heart withers in
the reality,
that love has the
option to leave.
As I walk down the
corridors of my heart,
I sweep the
shattered pieces under the rug,
and one by one , I
draw the curtains,
hit the lights and
lock the door....
