Poetry time: Ive Searched

I’ve searched my entire life
For her soul
Which ive loved before
My search left me in pieces
Broken and unsure
Convinced i wasnt worthy
Convinced none could ever love me
I was the toy for those with other plans

But at my lowest
Tattered and destroyed
Determined to never again let myself fall
I built my walls
I crafted my defenses
The care of practiced chemist
I would not again be a toy
I would be the puppet master
But it was not to be

It was at my lowest
Hiding behind my walls
False bravado shinning
That you crept into my heart
No, thats not right
You didn’t creep
You kicked in the gates
Because you knew, oh you knew
Youd always known that this was Your place
These walls were built to keep others out but also to keep you safe
This heart was waiting for you
Because you too had been searching
Searching for a love you knew you once knew
And at last we have found it
Our fates entertwined
Love that will stand till the end of time
