My Little Heart

Love at times seems Such a petty little thing. It’s like a pill. It lends you A temporary completing thrill. But for the first time In years where I’ve been shrouded by my fears. I seem to seize A man that brings me no hateful tears. I had forgotten How it felt To be treated like a princess. To be loved for and cared. To be humored and spared. You lift the world Off my shoulders. And pull me away from this uncertain mess. Though far away you may be. Your closer you seem to be At times you frustrate and very well confuse me. No love seems ever to appear. Then just as I lift The flag to surrender You draw me closer you draw me near. Surprise me. Confuse me And to puddles I will melt. A simple word. A loving way. In a message you send Smashing through me like a wave. No sound, only intent Blown away, yet steady and still. I stand undoubting and without a chill. For somehow, I know, That the one who protects My heart is. Most definitely will stay. Such pain have I felt. So harsh and refrained They can never be divulged Because they will Make you so frail. Somehow, It evaporates. Your voice lovingly takes it away. Reassurance you deliver. Strong faith you conceive. Undiminished is your love. So protective of me. You glance not as if I am carved of raw stone. But delicate as gem sent down from thee. You guard me and guide me. And love so eagerly. "My little heart" you say, "I love you beyond my wildest dreams And find it so very hard To believe you will be mine for all eternity". Such love so suddenly I can feel once again. Knowing now That all pain and suffering Were merely a wicked test. As trials and tribulations Walk our steady path I’m sure we'll face it Not with fear But with love in our hearts. For when I am weak My ship you will So gently lead. Still comforting and preparing me For the cruel winds we may breed. So brave, so strong Yet so innocent you seem to me. But protecting my heart Is a man with fears. Fears just like me. I'll protect you my dear. Just as you have protected me I’ll love you and put your fears to ease And promise to love thee Till I can no longer breathe. BY Amanda.M.Miller
