Let You Love Me

Some days

I hate myself so loudly

every voice of love around me

has drowned out and faded.

Some days

I just sit in silence

with my inner child as she cries

but I never tell her that it's going to be okay.

Being strong is all I know

and I can't let her think

that it's okay to put the baggage down..

A boy I loved once told me

"I hope you let someone love you someday"

but every knight that tried

was a dragon in disguise..

I cry at night sometimes

when I think of the dragons

and how I can no longer tell apart

a foe from a friend or

a lover from a passing devil.

I hope the young me someday

will hold me and I'll hold her back and say

"You can put the weight down now,

together we will find our way."

Dear Chandni. Love teaches us many things. One is sadness. I like the John Donne words. "We do not find love. Love will find us."
"I hope the young me someday
will hold me and I'll hold her back and say
"You can put the weight down now,
together we will find our way."
I had the same wish many moons ago and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
