Recognizing Facts Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Recognizing facts that keep poking my heart,
making me realize that there is a genuine
love for another secreted within me.

Afraid to let it go free, it's scaring me,
because I never thought it was possible in
this lifetime.

Yet, here it is right inside my aching heart,
wanting to be fulfilled in the worst way,
knowing he wants me with all of his being.

Wanting to go to him, yet staying back, still
afraid of this love's intensity and it's all-
consuming perfection.
