A Grain of Sand

With love comes peace 
Bringing a prevailing sense of serenity

With love comes soundness
A voice from within guaranteeing your safety

With love comes admiration
Those little things touching your soul ever so deeply

With love comes wholesomeness 
You can feel the merriment in every inch of your body

With love comes warmth
A welcoming feeling that inquires, ‘Are you ready?’

However, with love comes discomfort
The past wounds, not letting your mind free

With love comes apprehension
Will it end tomorrow or last for an eternity?

With love comes fear
Is it finding home? Or is it just another refugee?

With love comes disappointment 
When your longings and expectations are shattered repeatedly

With love comes rage
Warning yourself to hold back; all to guard your sanity

With love comes risk
You might lose yourself again or get to live your fantasy

Love comes as a bunch of tangled wires
Now, the question is, who’s worth untangling them for?
