Love Poem: Open Arms

Open Arms

I touch my lips
A familiar place 
where you have been

How strong your
soft kisses were
Breathing life into 
the area of my mind
that love had killed

Taking me back to a time
when I welcomed love
Before love murdered 
a piece of me
that was alive and free

I feel silly 
To have allowed 
someone to change who I was

But
I'm so happy now
to have realized 
the error of my ways

And at last
I welcome love
with open arms.
