A month ago, today
I was in tears.
I had my shattered heart
In my arms,
Clutching it to my chest
As it remained
Torn apart.

A month ago, today
I turned a year older
And believed
that I will no longer
Find my own
Genuine lover.

A month ago, today
I chose to close the doors
And keep my heart
Locked in chains
In fear of gaining
Tremendous pain

But on that day,
My new year began
You gave my a surprise.

You had the keys
Like you've always had.
To unlock the chains
And you did.

But, you didn't steal my heart,
You knew it was still broken
I was still broken.

And even though you also knew
That taking my heart
Was an easy task
You didn't.

Instead, you stayed beside me.
Clearing the loneliness
That formed beyond the chains
And replacing it with the joy
I have long lost.

You stayed.

And you made this broken heart,
Whole again.
