I have decided today to share with you a poem that really means a lot to me. It's a rather long poem but it holds what I feel for a certain person. Before you ask I don't know who this poem is about of for or who inspired me to write it it just popped in my head and I needed to put it on paper. Enjoy....

......Mending these broken wings.....

It's almost as if I've meet you before.
Like these so called butterfly's have always been here.

The sound of your voice rings harmony in my ears.
And the sight of you almost brings me to tears.

I wish I could make it last forever.
But I hate being so venerable, my walls can easily be severed.

I wish I could let you in,
but to my bible that would be a sin.

I wish I could give you the key to my heart.
But if your temptation unlocks it, I will fall apart.

These walls have taken so long to build.
Even if one brick is moved my soul will be spilled.

You have given me my wings,
but I still need to decide many things.

I cannot fly,
when I'm tied to the ground by a lie.

I don't have your courage to forget and forgive.
My wings will forever be broken until I can truly live.

I know this is hard to understand.
But I'm afraid if I jump I will never land.

By loving you I give you the tools to destroy me....
I have to learn,
learn to trust...
learn to forgive...
learn to forget...
and learn to mend these broken wings....


~~Forever and always~~
*By yours truly*
