A Troubled Spirit A Ruined Heart Poem by Stephanie Lynn Daniels

I met you when your heart was ruined
Your spirit was troubled and your belief in love had exiled itself into the darkest abyss.

I met you when your search for something had only begun, so your walls were too unyielding for my affections.

The shining light of your brilliance sheltered by your attempt to detach yourself.

I met you when the only thing you knew - was how not to be anything else but unmoved by the possibility of a connection.

I met you and I was drawn to you - I was drawn to your darkness, the sadness in your eyes, the coldness of your once warm heart.

I could love you oneday, I know I could

When your heart is restored and your spirit is lifted

And your hope in life, and beauty and love is clearer than the rising sun on a perfect day.

And what a perfect day that will be.
