My heart is a place

Where pain has resided

A barren space

Where violence was incited

There have been

Broken fragments inside it

Scattered all around

So everyone

Who entered

Tripped and fell

And get bruised

Ran away

To seek shelter

Somewhere safe

And warmer

Than the winter

That engulfed me

For...

I was cursed

To make anyone

Who loves me suffer

For I'm not whole

Been in pieces for so long

Then you came

Like a silver lining

Who walked in

Exuding light

That sent worries

Out the door

You touched my skin

That has long been torn

As though you can heal

My still bleeding wounds

You did seal them

With your light caresses

Now they're closing

Oh the process

Is so breathtaking

You knocked on my heart

For oft, I hesitated

If I'll let you in

You'll get hurt

Or wounded

May trip against

My unpolished sides

May collide

With the unspeakable

Darkness I hide

You smiled

And took my hand

Severed the barricades

I've put to separate

Myself from you

You said you don't need it

Trusting your words

I unlocked my heart

So you could enter

And...

To my surprise

You started taming

My storm

Like you knew it by name

I was never a halcyon sea

But you calmed my waves

With songs

I've never heard before

Love, you enthralled me

By the way you closed

My wounds

Called every piece of me

Claimed them as yours

So they slowly gravitated

Like pieces of a puzzle

Finally falling into place

Now I'm whole

And will no longer hurt

For today...

Someone like you came

To meet me

At my worst

Made me better

As you continuously shower

Me with love

Made me believe

My pieces can't pierce

Anyone who gets near

For I am not broken

I am whole

And suddenly.....

I feel whole

For I am loved

And I am home
