My hope for love
Has not been totally obliterated
By the all hard experiences
During which love crumbled
For I see with retrospect
The part I also played in things
So when your words of love
Fall down like gentle rain
Upon my thirsty soul
My heart begins to hope again
That all the things you say
And the soft and tender feelings that arise
Within
Can be trusted
But it is also sad to say
That there are times when fear and doubt steal in
Bidding me close the door on everything
Hopes and dreams and longings
I wrapped up so tightly and buried here
Hiding them deep inside
Years ago
When deepest hurts so scarred my soul
So please be patient with me
As I wrestle with my mind
Which is often so unkind
To me
Give me time
To trust once again in life
And not surrender tenderness
For self protection
Past the time
When soul direction
Bids me open once again
The inner petals of my heart
To bask within
The shining rays of love
That you beam
So gently
And with infinite tenderness
Upon my soul
Absolutely stunning š¤

You captured your feelings beautifully. I wrote a poem about mixed up emotions years ago. It was a year after Carole had passed, and I was starting up a relationship. I had guilt complexes, I had new love, I had doubts, whether I could ever give of my love again… so many thoughts were running through my head. Anyhow I’ll find the poem and link here for you

Yes it true..they don’t speak the truth at all…and sadly they can become self fulfilling prophecies.
