Something has cast a shadow
Over my heart
A niggling doubt, so dark
Is trying to take hold
Making me question
All there is about me
All over again
A shard of light
Has entered my life
Only just skimming the surface
But it has sparked
Such a profound effect
It has made me glow
With anticipation
It has made me feel
Suddenly starving
For the love that I seek
But do not and have not
Yet possessed.
It is this quiet angst
That has been aroused
In my soul
That has sent ripples
Through my mind
It has awakened a craving
So deep within me
I am almost bursting
To open up and bear my
Innermost secrets and dreams
With someone that I can truly care
It is a place, so heavily disguised
It could so easily be missed
But it’s still so fragile from much pain
It is from this place that
I must rise up from again
To stay there, is to be alone
And I have been lonely
For so long, it is so utterly wrong
But the fear of being hurt,
Let down, or betrayed once more
Keeps feeding this doubt
That wants to surge right through
To my very core
But I am a different woman now
To the one I was then
And it is her that I must leave behind
I am brave. I am beautiful
But if I don’t let her go
My heart with remain closed
And my true love I will never know.
