She’s so eager for love.
Always waiting,
Always searching.
Always hoping that he’s the one
Those relationships end the same way;
Leaving her broken, and used.
She repeats the cycle,
Always falling for the wrong one
And never knowing until it was too late.
Loving too hard, loving too much…
Too involved with him to get out.
She got herself in so deep.
And yet, there’s an end, at the very
Long, dark, painful road.
Breaking away, somewhat alive,
Somewhat free.
It took years of failing,
Years of pain,
To find what she was looking for.
And still she questions it,
Even though she knows in her heart
That it’s right.
And for the first time, she is insanely frightened,
Of love.
Because she has never known love to be
As amazing as it truly is.
