The Girl And Love Poem by Heidi Fiore

The Girl And Love



When I was a girl I fell in love,
I fell in love so hard it hurt;
It really was the worst.

He picked up my hand
And it was grand
But only for a moment
Then it all just seemed a terrible curse

But I just could not see,
Through my mask of empathy
That this really was not right for me.

I spent so many months
Thinking that this was my true love,
And that I was just as happy as can be

But each night against my pillow was a tear
That only came from my own fear
Of what my life was to be.

This boy had this hold on me
And generated sympathy
But no one was ever there for me.

Trapped in my own little world,
Spiraling down, this little girl
Wept until the room became a sea

The sea took me far away
So far that I could not say
That I loved that boy in any way

It swept me up onto a shore
That glowed and showed me evermore
That I was to be happy in the LORD.

But on my metaphoric little island
Out in the middle of the sea
There was only me and some trees

I prayed so many nights
For something else to come my way
And God said,
“Hey, you’ll be okay

For you see that I have planned for you
A better love that’s strong and true
Someone who won’t take you
Away, again, from me.”

And I said,
“Well, gee that sounds so very sweet
But I want something I can see,
That can and always will be there for me.”

And then God said,
“Don’t tempt the LORD
I’ll give you what you’re looking for,
But only when the time is right for me.”

Then there was the day that you arrived
Into my life, and then I sighed,
And thought to myself, “Now I’m alive”

Your smile shown right through the crowd
And God looked down from His golden cloud
To see the perfect match he made for me

The only thing was I was scared
I guess I was not all prepared
To move to this new feeling inside of me

You never really knew
All of the stuff that I went through
And you definitely didn’t know
That all my life’s a silly show
That I needed you to help me grow
Into someone that God they know.

More than just loving you
I aspire to be like you
You’re the example that I need
A person that is rid of greed

A perfect image of God’s grace
A beauty deeper than your face
That shines like diamonds in moonlight
The thought of you makes me terrified

Because you’re on this pedestal
That I invented just for you
That you don’t know that you deserve
Because you say it’s all God’s word

I absorb every word you speak
You seem so strong, and I’m very weak
But you’ve showed me that to be meek
Means God puts you above the weak

Your kindness is just so humane
It can cause me, sometimes, physical pain
When I think of how good you are
It seems to make you seem so far.

And all of this rambling you’ll never know,
You’ll never hear how this song goes
‘Cause I’d rather keep a friend in you
Than have you know all that is true
It would break my heart if we weren’t friends
So for now, that’s how the story ends.
