Empathy Poetry

I tried my best to stay away

To put up a shield

To guard my heart

How foolish to think I could hold you off

Those eyes

That mouth

This touch

The shield is down

The white flag is up

My heart no longer is guarded

It’s all yours

To keep

I surrender

If I could give you a whole constellation, I would

But this star will have to do

If I could put into words how much you mean to me, it still wouldn’t be enough

For you were like a shooting star, across a black night sky

Out of nowhere, you appeared, igniting light all around me

Since, I’ve been in a trance and I wish to never return

I found that your light is what I needed most
