Can't Love You Enough Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

Afraid of being hurt
Scared you might take me through
That dark tunnel full of thorns
And shattered glasses that he dragged me through
I decided to avoid you
Even though it broke my heart

I tried to walk away
From my feelings
But with every step I took
I had a pang of regret
Laced with longing

I was forced to turn back
So here is my heart
I entrust it to you
It's not the first time
I do this kind of thing
I've done it before

Surrendered it to the one who shattered it
As you see it isa bit disfigured
Little fragments glued together
It's missing some pieces
What I gave you is all I managed to recover

I doubt I'll love you like you deserve
I'll keep going back and forth
Like I'm hesitant to give you all of me
I've been badly hurt before
So please don't rush me
Give it a little time so I get used to loving again
