Love's Touch
I had hoped that at the end of it all,
I would be able to move on.
I intended to walk away, standing tall.
But any optimism I had is gone.
I knew that I would get through
the events that caused my pain.
It is the only thing that I could do,
if I wanted to be able to have a life again.
I wanted to know love once more,
to find that " significant other".
But fate decide to close that door,
for me, there would not be another.
The damage done to my soul, my heart,
has been too much to repair.
I came close to falling apart,
I didn't, but I have nothing to share.
How can I put myself out there,
when all of my instincts say no?
Let my emotions lead me somewhere,
that now I am afraid to go.
I wanted to feel again, love's touch,
to welcome it without concern.
But the residual effects have been too much.
A lesson that I didn't want to learn
Sadly, I am trying to set it aside.
contemplating living my life alone.
The dream of finding love has died,
my heart will now remain, only mine to own.
