Love Again

Love walks back into our life no matter what you do.

I have lost before

And I know you are broken too

Little pieces of us we can see laying in the debris

Just waiting for someone to pick it up

Polish it, shine it and put it all together.

So that one day, they appear at our door

with it neatly gift wrapped in a shiny paper.

But when that person really does arrive,

With the beautiful gift, and we open the door.

With glee but are left surprised

For it is not the one

Of whom you dreamt last night.

The face is all different,

The color of their dress is totally not right.

You see a stranger with a strange smile

Trying just too hard all this while.

So you take the gift halfheartedly.

And you unwrap it and you see the broken piece.

That once was lost, that once was yours.

You put it back and it fits perfectly.

It fits back better than it ever did.

And now when you look back at the stranger.

They are no longer strange,

You wonder how in a moment did all of this change.

So you ask and they reply.

That broken piece had a broken part,

I had a broken heart, with a replacement for that.

So I put the replacement and its ticking again.

I hope it makes you forget all your pain.

I don't think it's always truly ourselves that incites us to emerge anew in another situation, or rather, due to a situation, but sometimes, it's just time that accustoms us to the pain and the dread of living until finally, we are confronted by the stunning reality that we cannot live like this forever and must make the decision of whether or not to fix ourselves or wallow in the pain. The decision isn't always conscious but I think it's still there.
Nonetheless you capture the essence of a shattered person on the optimistic side of the spectrum, a perspective that is still fairly new to my mind. Yet I still found myself believing in the persona that you seem to speak of, even going as far as to relate somewhat (albeit barely) to the optimistic outlooks of your own poetry.
Stellar, Theory, I enjoyed muchly.

I agree with your perspective Taite Ryens, Its sometimes a conscious decision and sometimes we change without any knowledge whatsoever of how things change us.
Glad you liked my poem. :)

Beyond the physical, true love is forged by souls who complement and fill the voids in each other.

This was oh so great Theory.Sometimes the person who we think is going to be the one to put us back together is the one to break us and we are so surprised at the one who eventually does make us whole.
