My Love

You refused to give up

My love for you is something

That even I don’t understand,

I never thought I feel this way

For another man.

***

I had closed my heart

From previous pain,

Determined

Never to love again.

***

Somehow you wormed

Your way inside,

Found my heart

That I’d tried to hide.

***

I tried to ignore

But you refused to take no,

I pushed you away

You refused to go.

***

I finally gave in

You thawed my heart,

I didn’t stand a chance

From the start.

***

So yes it’s here

And here to stay,

My love grows stronger

Day by day.

***

I’ve loved before

A lot like this,

And where’s it lead

To wedded bliss.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
