To Love Again

I must learn to love again
If I am to heal my heart
A heart pierced through the dagger of love
I thought was true

I must learn to love again
After the blood bath of betrayal
Splattered on the wall of pristine union
Body, mind, and soul

I must learn to love again
If I have to heal the hole in my heart
To close it with a risk of seeking love anew
To utter the reminiscence of what was pure

How can I help you love again?
How can I help you heal?
How can I assure you betrayal will not come your way?
How can I trust in myself, that you will be unwavering?

I must learn to love again
At the end of a long winter
Snow carpet of nothingness everywhere
Sunshine beams through the lose hem of curtains

I must learn to love again
At the end of the summer
Listening to the wind chimes
Lilt and play to sing along the delicate kiss of ocean wind

The pain could not be in my heart
Anymore
The mourning of pain is past its expiry date
The birth of love anew is gushed forth in ecstasy

At the end of spring
Daises and periwinkle have blossomed forth

Pain cannot reside anymore in my heart

I love, hold and smile to myself again

Pain cannot live in my body

Anymore

There is no evidence of canker festered

To love and be loved is my newfound world

I love again

To hold, cherish, dream, build and grow

To listen to the wind chime whisper on a starry night

Holding you tenderly is my new found religion
