To Love Again

Love broke me into a million fragments,
A mosaic of pain, a broken dream's scene.
In the night's embrace, fear sent shivers down my spine,
As love's grip tightened, leaving my heart confined.

Love played me like a puppet on a string,
In my youth and naivety, it took everything.
It made me vulnerable, helpless, and used,
A prisoner in my own world, emotions confused.

But time, a gentle healer, whispered its song,
Guiding me towards self-love, where I belong.
My mended heart, now guarded, stood tall and strong,
Resolute to never love again, I once declared, so long.

Yet love, persistent, knocked upon my door,
Beckoning me to open, to explore.
Though wary of its dangers, I took a chance,
For true love's warmth, I yearned in this cosmic dance.

With walls pulled down, my promises set free,
I embraced the vulnerability, hope you see.
Ready to be loved, by a soul so true,
My missing rib, my love, forever I pursue.

A chance to love again, a precious gift bestowed,
I'll cherish it dearly, till eternity's road.
In this poem's verses, our love shall forever reside,
As we journey together, hand in hand, and side by side.

For the love of love, and poetry.
