Never Again

[CelesteDeVive]

To die on the silver sword of self-righteousness
To taste the piety of true love
To look into your eyes and see an eternity of peace
This is too much to wish for- No happiness will my life ever have
Your hope was too good to be true
You cracked the hairline fracture around my heart
but now I will seal it better than before
With cement of hurt and the cold steel of fear
wrapped in a tangled, thorny blanket of mistrust
You almost won, my darling
but I am stronger than you think
I will turn the pain you've given me into a fortress
and no one shall enter again

[Sigh]

Celeste,
Beautifully written...easy to relate to that feeling of wanting to curl up in an emotional fetal position forever...but take it from an old war-dog, the heart is better left unprotected. It's vulnerability is the only door through which love can enter, an all heart-ache and pain pales into insigificance next to love. Some people never find it, most don't give themselves a chance:)
Light doesn't creep in through closed curtains


Sigh.:)
