Out of the Sandbox July 1, 2016 , by

By Diana Perez

 

Finally he’s here, I waited for years

I wasn’t sure he was coming

I was tormented by fears.

 

He finally showed up with a smile on his face,

It was great to see him and

Get that wounded before heartfelt embrace.

 

We have a connection, there’s no denying that.

The problem is we are both afraid.

We have been wounded before and treated like crap.

 

He’s built a brick wall to guard his heart.

Afraid to let me in,

I guess that makes him feel smart.

 

I know denying yourself, the feeling you feel

Isn’t really smart.

It’s denial from what is real.

 

I Hope and trust that love is out there somewhere.

I Believe that love still exist.

And hopefully soon.

I will feel his wet kiss.

 

I just keep trying and praying

That he will finally realize

What is right in front of him?

Right in front of his beautiful eyes.
