The Bottom Line What a great place to write!
For many years and several relationships, I suffered much abuse. Some was verbal but most was abusive. I never in a million years thought that I could find someone that would love me without hurting me. That is until David came along. We have been together for 6 years now. It took me almost all of that 6 years to trust him. On Valentines Day of 2001 I tried very hard to think of something original to give him to show how much I loved him. When I couldn't think of anything, I sat at my computer for three hours and came up with this poem. That very same day, David took me out to dinner and proposed! He did not receive my gift (the poem) until we got home. It all was in such great timing. He really loved it and I hope you do too. I built a wall around myself and would not let you in, I blocked my ears and closed my eyes, my heart you could not win. In fear, I stood behind the wall where others couldn't see the fright I felt when you were near or right in front of me. I didn't want to feel your touch, and so I thought it best to stay behind the wall I'd built, the safety of my nest. The wall it couldn't hurt me, not with words nor deeds, but then I found it couldn't fill the smallest of my needs. And so I thought what I should do, is maybe take a glance the one outside the wall I built may deserve a chance. I took a brick out of my wall and took a look around, When I looked down, I saw that you had firmly stood your ground. You wouldn't leave, you didn't care no matter how I hid, You were coming through my wall,and that is what you did. Brick by brick you tore it down and then when you were done, You took my hand and led me safely toward the sun. You showed me how a touch could feel if it is gently laid, You showed me just how words could heal the wounds that others made. You showered me with tenderness and showed me ways of love, and now I know that you're a gift from somewhere up above. I give to you a Valentine, my heart that's real and true, in hopes that you will care for it and never make it blue. David and I have been married for 16 months now. It seems like we've been together forever. He has never raised his hand to me nor has he even so much as raised his voice. He truly is a gift and I will love him forever!  |
