Love Knocked

Hi! I write poetry, related or not to my life. So enjoy reading!

I once wrote about you
Words spilled
Like how my feelings were
For you

I don't anymore,
I still write
Though the words ache
For you

I had all my love
On my hands
Wanting to be loved
Waiting for your hands

Your outstretched arms
Wanting my love
You had it
From the beginning

At first it grew
And grew
To love you
More and more

Until the fights
Came and 
Knocked
At our doors

I knew 
And you did too
It was gonna be hard
And we did our best

With a hand 
On my chest
Inside, my heart ached
My Eyes with tears

Not because 
We were over
But because of
Myself realizing

That I am capable
To love a person 
So much
That I had my arms

Open

Knowing the difficulties
Love came
