Love Poem: Saved

Saved

Always wanting to be
saved. Waiting for the 
right kind of love
to pull her away.

Looking in the mirror 
at her own reflection
her blue eyes staring
back at her.

Mona Lisa smile.
Happy?
Miserable?
Who really knows.

Realizing the kind of 
love she was waiting 
for was her own love.

The love that saved her
was her own love for herself.

She saved herself by loving herself.
