Love Found Me

LOVE FOUND ME

Love found me lost, without direction.
The road I traveled was strewn with sharpened stone
And it was overgrown with deadly thorny thickets.

Love found me totally in despair.
The lonely darkness enveloped my very being;
It deprived me of my senses and made me grieve.

Love found me in remorse's embrace.
Spoken mistakes and silent lies were uttered,
Driving those who pledged me their hearts farther from my center.

Love found me in bonds within myself.
I writhed against the shackles of self loathing,
Letting them bite into my bare flesh and score my skin.

Love found me altogether disarmed.
The way is open to my heart through my eyes,
Which are now the portals and passageway to my tears.

But...love found me.
