My Love

Before you, my heart condemned to pain, my mind a mere sad stain. burden of steps I took, life a closed book. My sad legacy to end, your own hurts you stored, in your heart a painful sword, putting second you ignored, your friendship you did extend, with your love I mend. Sleepless nights, with awaking frights, cold night sweats, life inner soul threats. True Love my life’s relief, from all my past grief, unfiltered loves ray, into heart spray, with you i wont stray. Warmth in my mind, eyes opened no longer blind. New seeds we sow, together we grow, forever our true Love will show. In you I trust, together, remain we must, thank you my Loved, you are my Beloved.
