Awakening

I don't have much to share with you,

I've been broken and abused.

Not wanting love or desire,

You seemed to be amused.

Breaking down protective walls

surrounding my injured soul.

You showed me joy I've never known,

quietly making me whole.

When ghost from my past haunted me,

You've held me while I wept.

In the darkness of my night,

You've watched me till I slept.

Teaching me to trust once more,

Not knowing where to begin.

Torn between my love for you,

And the fear within.

A bittersweet write about the inner struggles. Your last two lines express it best. "Torn between my love for you, And the fear within." Truly the beauty of love and friendship, and awakening. As we become vulnerable, we overcome those fears, allowing ourselves to tear down the walls and open our hearts and souls to love. May you find love and light always, dear Gypsie. Lovely work, my friend.

Dealing is one terrible need. The mind doesn't let go... the heart does. Finding strength, faith and trust... coming back from the abyss...

Beauty of romance and awakening.

Now this is beautiful. I can't really find the right words to review it, except to say that it's something everyone can relate to--including a loner like myself. I also love the rhythm and the flow of this: dark, daunting, a little haunting, and an honest telling of our inner struggles as we find the courage to love someone. This is very, very good!

Beautifully written. Heartfelt and touching. After all we go through we look for someone to help us and love us until our hearts get mended.
