PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My heart was closed off from love
guarded like a fortified castle
with a moat of tears surrounding it.

It was filled with darkness
and sometimes those who ventured close
were caught in the crossfire of my demons.

I'm tormented by thoughts that
I am incapable of love,
giving or receiving.

Then a genuinely good person
tried to reach into my hell,
break down the walls I built.

I was living in the deepest pit
but you, like an angel,
came out of the sky and rescued me.

You showed me that I could
find it in my heart to love another
even if it wasn't reciprocated.

I'm a pretty girl with a tortured soul
but at least now I know that

even my heart can be beautifully mended.
