Found Its Way. ♪♫

This a song not a poem, but I couldn't select "song." Either way, enjoy.

 

Haven’t played any games before

Haven’t engaged my heart before

I’ve protected it to well

Missing what I thought I’d never feel

There’ve been guys, trying too hard to love

Never returned, couldn’t get enough

Now my walls are falling down

Who’s left standing on this battleground?

Now that it’s over

Now I can see

Hiding my heart

I was my own enemy

Needing what I didn’t see

And somehow it found its way to me

I’ve been searching for it all my life

Looking for someone worth my time

And somehow it found its way to me

Suddenly dreams start to appear

My future, I see, is coming in clear

Miracles they do happen

Wasting energy on mistakes

Ending in dysphoric heartbreak

Now my walls are falling down

I’m fearless on this battleground

Now that it’s over

Now I can see

Hiding my heart

I was my own enemy

Needing what I didn’t see

And somehow it found its way to me

I’ve been searching for it all my life

Looking for someone worth my time

And somehow it found its way to…

My heart is now whole

With you I lose control

I’m a desperate addict

And I don’t want to quit

Now my walls have fallen down

We’re left standing, fearless, on this battleground

Now it’s over

I can see

I hid my heart

I was my own enemy

Needing what I didn’t see

And somehow it found its way to me

I was searching for it all my life

Searched for someone worth my time

And somehow you found your way to me!

"Now my walls have fallen down
We’re left standing, fearless, on this battleground
Now it’s over"
Great description for the emotion of love. Love is a battlefield. Need to be careful and hope for a good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

that is excellent wonderful very well expressed I felt it I've been there I can relate maybe a little bit too much anyhow I love it it's lyrical genius its your personal experience I would like another one though more passion more description of the pain that you feel from this thing called love or what you are protecting your heart from and really get into it deep what your body feels like when you're experiencing that pain and that sort of thing what was your first heartbreak you know I mean by like very detailed I think you do good at that excellent job I don't like the color red and we talked to four points for that but I didn't go to go I love it
