My heart, a fortress built of weathered stone,
Had borne the scars of love’s most bitter moan.
Betrayal’s sting, a wound that festered deep,
It taught me to guard my soul and its secrets.
Then, like a sunbeam through a clouded sky,
You entered, chasing shadows as you’d fly.
Your gentle touch, a whisper soft and kind,
Melted the ice that froze my heart and mind.
Hesitantly, I lowered my guarded wall,
A sliver opened, answering love’s sweet call.
Slowly, trust bloomed, a fragile, tender thing,
Nurtured by your smile, the joy it would bring.
You became my haven, a fortress strong and true,
Sheltering me from storms I thought I’d face anew.
When waves of doubt threatened to engulf my soul,
Your hand reached out, making me feel whole.
Now, standing hand in hand, we face the unknown,
Love’s anchor holds me, never to be thrown.
In your embrace, my fears dissolve and fade,
Replaced by a security my heart has craved.
Let tempests rage, and darkness fill the night,
In your love, I find unwavering light.
For you are my home, my solace, and my might,
A love that conquers all, forever shining bright.
