True Love and Lessons Learned

A Journey Through Heartache to Redemption

By Jason “Jay” BenskinPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

In the garden where our hearts first took flight,

We twirled in the glow of the soft, silver light,

Yet shadows crept in, with whispers of pain,

Echoes of heartache lingered in the rain.

-

Through storms we wandered, lost in endless night,

Each tear a testament, each wound a flickering light,

We discovered love’s path is often unclear,

That joy is a treasure, sharpened by fear.

-

We built our fortress from stones of regret,

Each scar a story that we couldn't forget,

In silence, our doubt turned to a fragile song,

Two souls intertwining where once we felt wrong.

-

Forgiveness blossomed, tender yet bold,

In warmth and acceptance, we found what we hold,

For love is a tapestry, woven with tears,

A dance of redemption that conquers our fears.

-

Now hand in hand, we stand with hearts laid bare,

With the weight of our past, we share the same air,

For true love is timeless, it weaves through the years,

A symphony echoing both laughter and tears.

-

So let us rejoice in the lessons we've earned,

In the fires of heartache, our spirits have burned,

For true love is patient, it nurtures and grows,

A garden of memories where the heart always knows.

-

In the bittersweet twilight, with souls open wide,

We embrace the beauty of the tears that we cried,

For in every regret, in every embrace,

Lies the haunting reminder of love's sacred grace.
