I came to you damaged from a failed past love,
But you embraced my brokenness with unconditional love.

I am immersed in a love stronger than any I have known,
Yet I hold back, staying in a safe comfort zone.  

My mind tells me to relax, but my spirit remains skittish
Fearing deep down that I'll never be enough.

The weight of my past pain has been heavy and vast,
Dampening the joys our love could have brought.
