Love Poem: Delicate Heart

Delicate Heart

Loneliness and hurt seem to plague you
Forcing you deeper towards a corner
You want to love but can’t seem to
Step out of the shadows that cover you
Too many times have you been hurt before
Forcing you to lock up your heart and
Guard it along with your emotions
Just because some have gone and messed with you

It is ok
To feel this way
So I won’t rush anything with you
Your delicate heart
Is quite fragile
I promise to heal and strengthen it
I won’t go and abuse your heart
Take my hand
Allow me to show you that I’m sincere

Don’t worry about your past
It doesn’t bother me at all
Instead, focus on the now
With me by your side
Allow me to show it to you
The love that you deserve
I’ll be the one to cherish you
And the one to always love you

I too have been hurt numerous times
And I once did the exact same thing
But I refuse to remain in the dark
So I ventured out, seeking true love
Seeing that it’s a bit harder for you
I patiently knock on the door of your heart
I won’t run away like the rest
I’ll show you that not all of us are the same

I’ll give you
The key to my heart
Come inside and take a look around
There’s no malice
Within my walls
It’s all love for you and it won’t disappear
So please relax and get comfortable
Take my hand
Allow me to show you what true love is like
