Our Love Grew.

Just like a fire that never goes out.

By Erin ShieldsPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

This is the second post I ever made on my poetry blog when I created it a little over three years ago now. I remember being so shy and nervous about letting a larger audience potentially see my work than the small UK poetry forum I had begun writing and sharing my poetry on when I was just 18. That site was a bit more private you couldn't just go on and view people's profiles and written works unless you were a member already.

I am so glad I did end up creating my blog because it has turned into something wonderful.

Your love lit me up like a Christmas tree,

your love set me free,

like a bird taking flight.

Your love grew inside like a burning fire,

embers going strong.

Never gone out.

Your love hits with ease.

Our souls locked together.

Forever.
