365 Days of Poetry (Part Two)

Day 85: To You, I Was an Open Book.

In this great, wide world around me, I never once lived.

My heart I closed off, my soul I kept a secret.

To let down my guard, was something I daren't ever do.

Still you and only you, somehow found your way through.

One glance from your eyes, one touch of your hand.

To you I was an open book, nothing could I hide.

A feeling I couldn't describe, almost like being hypnotised.

After all this time, finally I am free, free from my internal prison.

Now hatched from my shell, I am reborn a new person.

From loneliness, from heartache, it is I you have saved.

My true love is now yours, for now and for always.

Thoughts of you, they invade my dreams, keeping me safe.

Never have I felt so wanted, so needed, so loved...
