Throughout my life
I didn’t trust
Those around me
Despite their intentions just

Mother and Father did tell
Reinforcing my fear
Of how Fortune fell
Because of Love’s single tear

So I wandered Life’s road
Making many a friend
But never sharing my load
Alone I would be at the end

My friends, they did protest
Out of love, they did ask
Wanting only to see my best
But only seeing my mask

Finally, it happened
It was so sad
How Hope’s flame dampened
Endangering the friendships I had

One friend he was true
Guiding me through the rain
I did rue
Making him insane

His love
A feisty blonde fair
From her, Fate did shove
All but Despair

And my heart
My raven haired muse
She dealt with Love’s dart
And my secret’s abuse

They left me alone
After so much time
My heart felt like stone
My passion denied

Finally on a snowy plain
We discovered trust
Sharing our pain
While lying in the dust

A bond formed there
In that desolate place
In the frigid air
Reddening my face

My secret caused pain
For me and them
Pushed on by Shame
The issue only I could stem

I opened my heart
Gaining their trust
A Rubicon we marked
I knew them to be just

With the load lifted
I can live my life
Having repaired the rift
I feel without strife

That is the perfect gift
To live and love
Not worrying about words to sift
Only sitting with my raven dove.

THE END
