Forever Mine

I used to think that love wasn’t real

I couldn’t picture anyone truly loving me

Was there such a thing as true happiness out there

Could my broken heart ever be put back together

 

I used to be all alone in this world filled with people

I used to be scared to count on anyone but me

I had to protect myself from everyone around me

I never felt safe stepping out of the comfort of my room

 

The walls up around me were thick and strong

Every corner I turned someone was waiting to hurt me

I hated going home; it scared me to be around my own family

Tears fell every night onto my pillow till my eyes closed

 

I never thought someone would ever be there for me

The day you took my hand you didn’t want to let go

You whipped away the tears falling from my eyes

I stared out my window all night thinking about you

 

Slowly you took the walls down one by one

Through time you slowly showed me what true happiness was

I finally had someone that would always be there for me

You held me in your arms for hours keeping me warm

 

For once I was the one being protected instead of protecting

You kept me safe from all of the pain and hurt

You and I became closer as the minutes ticked by

Day by day you worked at putting my heart back together

 

You could always make me giggle without even trying

Every time I saw you a bright smile would cross my face

You could always stop the tears from forming

Hearing your voice could  give me butterflies

 

You promised me that would never ever let me go

You treated me like I was a princess

You said you couldn’t help but fall in love with me

You told me I was the girl you always wanted

One day you promised you’d make me yours

 

That promise came true the day you made me yours forever

Every night you would hold me tight

Every night I’d curl up next to you listening to your heart beat

Sometimes I’d wonder how I ever got so lucky to have gotten you

But all I know now is that I love you with all my heart

All I know now is that you’re my dream come true

Very sweet. Made me smile involuntarily while I was reading it.
One minor fix:
You promised me that would never ever let me go - needs a 'you'

Lovely. Like the progression and the happy ending. Great read. :)

This poem is one of true love. Someone cared enough to break down all those walls for they saw the inner you and loved you for who you were already. this is a glorious feeling. I have only felt this once in my life and I still feel it every day even though I am no longer with this person. We have remained friends and I thank God every day that I have him in my life. Happy endings are glorious and wonderful. True love breaks all barriers and makes us better people.

I like how you have focused on the simplicity of emotions and feelings and never looked at infusing "big" words to describe the sentiments.
The story follows a chronological order and the verb tenses are uniform and true to the story.

btw...I suggest you read the poem again, because you have about 6-7 mistakes; some spelling some grammatical.

Well done :)
