Cycles of the Heart

..........................................................................................................................

Step One:Eye Contact

You looked at me with that smile

and poetry trickled down my lips.

..........................................................................................................................

Step Two: Wanderlust

Darling don’t worry I won’t break your heart.

I’m not the kind.

I’ll keep loving you until you break mine.

..........................................................................................................................

Step Three: Uncertainty

Do you want someone

Or

Do you want me?

..........................................................................................................................

Step Four: Cold Harsh Truth

Our eyes held hands

but I had to walk away.

You were the one for me

but her name still stained your lips.

..........................................................................................................................

Step Five: Pain

Sometimes you lose what you love.

Sometimes you love what you lose.

..........................................................................................................................

Step Six:Recovery

Today you are a scar.

Yesterday you were an open wound.
