Once a heart bound and tangled
Surrounding myself to ward off anyone who might of cared
A reminder of the pain if I ever tried to leave
these protective vines and thorns of steel
Afraid and timid, but lonely and wanting
you saw this and didn't run
thought that something could be done
that what was done could be undone
Saw that I'd lost hope
Lost hope in love and trust
lost hope and wouldn't free myself from my rusted prison
In making your way through my jumbled mess you became entangled
Entangled in these cruel wires of pain and protectiveness of mine
Once there I pushed and pulled away
only hurting us both
Wanting to love but finding it hard to do
We truly had a barbed wire love
Once giving in
I learned to trust
learned to believe in love
Easier the longer i tried
Learned to love and hold on to you
No longer pulling through these vines
No longer pushing you through
That prison now our home
Tho painful at first
We survived
Now happily entangled in our
Barbed wired love
A poem I found while packing my house to move. This is one I wrote in high school when I was just finding out what it was to love someone
