Learning To Love Again - JU

I feared the scars within my heart
Old wounds kept every hope apart
Your gentle voice broke through my fear
You showed me love could still be here

You stayed when shadows filled my mind
You loved me slow, and you were kind
You helped my heart believe again
That love can heal what once was pain

Hi Chloe, I absolutely loved this poem. Unfortunately, your lines have (8) syllables where/as it should have been (7). Oops! This would have finished high at the top of the podium if not for that. Anyway, congrats on your placement and thanks for entering my contest. Charlie
