Truth To Love

the heart
a beautifully tragic concept
its where most decisions are made 
and all emotions are kept
its the part of us that is strongest
yet the most fragile
it takes a million actions to beat 
but to break it
only takes a single lie
some can break and remain to stay kind
while others build walls and hide 
some will live and thrive 
while others suffer and cry
it never takes much to feel dead inside 
yet requires so much to just be alright
it takes a lifetime to heal
but a single moment to be broken
love is not temperamental
only unconditional
if its true 
its a perpetual feeling of comfort and bliss
and can sometimes be discovered through a single kiss
it comes to all
whether you're short or tall
insecure or broken  
big or small
so don't try to find it
make mistakes  
make your self and break yourself
because you don't find love 
love finds you 
please trust me 
every word of this is true 
if love can find me 
love can find you.
