Inner love

It’s funny

I don’t seem to need you

As much as I used to

The place in my heart that was

Once

Frozen

Now has begun to unthaw

And now I know

What turns on and off

The inner source and warmth

Of love

I need to stay not only alive

But to feel

My life has worth

I used to think that all of the disappointments

You caused for me

Were just a curse

But now I see it was necessary

For me to suffer so

For sometimes it is not until

We burn to ash

That we can find the inner truth

Hidden so deep down in our core

And find the real reason

We are living for

Simply to be awake

And never ever again

Abandon our souls

As we used to do

Before we knew

The priceless gift

Of inner love
