Love Poem: The Bridge To My Heart

The Bridge To My Heart

god has taught me so much on how to view love, and lean in towards 
relationships,
love is not  just a feeling, it's words put into action, and it's the selfless love we 
give,
that builds up bonds of friendship, to determine down the road, if a commitment 
could be given,
the honor and respect of the friendship then proceeds your trust, and then love is 
automatically driven,
your not thinking of yourself, or what you can gain, you don't think of your own 
selfish needs,
you want to give of your heart, and share from your soul, and immediate actions 
then proceed,
no physical affection can amount to what's given from the heart, sex and kisses 
can tell u lies,
for if attraction leads you into premature sex, it can deceive you with your eyes,
you then realize your intentions were selfish, you didn't protect yourself or your 
potential mate's heart,
you were to eager and impatient to save that special moment, and you will never 
finish what you first wanted to start,
your sexual desires and needs will not have mattered when your taking your final 
breath,
so why waste time with meaningless gratification, if you will have no use for it in 
the end,
we feed our bodies food and water to keep us well-nourished, it is our bodies 
fuel,
when our bodies die, what's left is our spirits, and it's important they rise and are 
full,
what good is your spirit, if your body will eventually wither and go, and what is left 
of you amounts to nothing,
you put no emphasis on allowing god to feed your spirit while you were here on 
this earth, and now you wished you had fed it something,
you took advantage of all the love that others offered to give, and went ahead with 
your own selfish needs,
you missed out on the opportunity that you could have awesomely had,  while 
god was still diligently planting that seed, 
 you've been constintly hurt, you gave up on love all together, because you got  
sick of all the abuse,
so you turned your eyes to the world's view of self-gratifying love, nothing feels 
left, and now satans amused,
he tricked you into believing there's no one left on this earth that could ever give u 
more,
i will tell you once more, if you focus your full attention on god, there's much more 
love for you in store.
