YouA Poem by Jade MayhewIt's hard to find the perfect words To tell you how I feel I know that life's been hard on you I know your pain is real You built up walls around your heart Of brick and ice and steel To let another woman in Was a choice that seemed surreal So you locked yourself away from love To heal your broken soul To let your heart recover from Your last love's heavy toll You took the time to find yourself And regain your self-control Along the way, your heart found me I blinked, my heart, you stole And for reasons I can't fathom For logic I can't see You let slowly down your borders And you let your heart go free The well-worn lock you kept on it Returned to you its key And of all you could have trusted, You passed it on to me So now I hold a precious gift, One I'll keep so safe and sound But by giving me your heart for keeps To mine, yours now is bound And my heart, it's racing wildly And it seems I can't touch solid ground We spent so long in the darkness That we're scared of being found And you're scared to fully let me in You were guarded far too long But the work you did to heal yourself It made your torn heart strong Your decisions made by trusting it Are too pure to be wrong It's only now that we've outrun the storm We see where we belong So today, your heart is safe with me And tonight, tomorrow too And I know you'll cradle mine with care It's a trust I give to few And I think although our roads are cracked Apart, we always knew That my heart is where your love belongs And I belong with you
