Two-in-One Poetry Contest

From all the mistakes I’d made before you
My ceramic heart had been crushed to pieces
With your loving words like glue
The pieces of my heart now perfectly fused
You’ve made me feel whole again

When I first saw you my heart screamed yes
But my rational side said no
I didn’t want to feel the pain
Or the sadness all over again
I didn’t want to admit, that I had fallen for you

Didn’t realize I’d be a lost soul without you
Had no clue who I was
I started pulling away
Not wanting to stay
Then I pushed you out of my life

A month and a day went by
Not once had I not thought of you
I needed to hear your voice
With my heart I hadn’t a choice
It was you I now admit, falling for

I took a deep breath and picked up the phone
My nerves were making me shake
What was I supposed to say
To the one that I had chased away
Come back to me, I need you in my life

When I heard your voice, gentle and inviting
My eyes welled up with tears
My heart was whole again
It was you that helped show me who I am
Someone finally able to feel love
