walls of doubt

this poem was written for my husband after he saved me from a very painful past.

through the years i have been trying
to find a love that was not lying
about the way he really felt
with one touch he'd make me melt
but my heart i shut down tight
i would not let it take flight
it was hurt too many times
by deciept and lots of lying
it was hard to trust again
till i found you as my best friend
my heart grew wings a little more
you helped me open up the door
and knocked down my walls of doubt
letting all my love flow out
into a world of tenderness
that i feel with each kiss
and warm embrace that i recieve
leading my heart to believe
that love and laughter can be found
in your arms so safe and sound
