WOUNDED HEART
by Paul Curtis It was love at first sight It's crazy but it's true You are the one So I set my cap at you But for a reason I couldn't tell You withdrew inside your shell Getting close to you Is like stalking a deer You run away If I get too near Who has hurt you so much? That you flinch at my touch I try to get closer I see a chink of light Then you slam the door And take flight Who has caused you such harm? That you draw back in alarm Let me unlock your heart With my loving key I will protect you Let me close and you will see I am not the man who harmed you The love I feel for you is true When I get too close You turn away You run for you life But I'll try another day Please don't lock yourself away I will keep the hurt at bay Don't let him win Don't be beaten by the fear Don't run away to safety Like a startled deer Let me help you to love again Let me show you love without pain I will be patient in my love I will wait if that's alright And give you time to heal Then bring out into the light I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
