Running From Love ©

Surrounded by love,
unable to feel it.
Damaged by words,
unable to hear it.
Too afraid to feel,
blind and deaf.
Too scarred by pain,
numbed.

Running from the past,
intent not to repeat.
Vowing not like them,
not like they did you.
Better not to love
than to love like that.
If that was love,
better without.

Lost in the map,
unable to find my way.
Seeking, looking
to a better day.
Whatever it is
that is out there,
must be better
than back there.

The river has risen,
now no way back.
Commitment assured,
my lesson learned.
But too late,
the real lesson,
that all along,
I was loved.
