Captive

What was it that drew me to her?

Her tears filled red rimmed eyes,

Her quivering lips trying to control a whimper,

The body full of scars,

The past that haunts her everyday,

The warmth she radiates,

Or her beautiful heart,

That's been broken too many times to put it back together,

But still trust me enough to wrap it up  with my love,

What exactly was it that has me captive in her?

--M.Shallom
