Once upon a time, I dared to hang on to hate
Pride, hurt, and arrogance kept my path going this way
Not desiring to open my heart, I slipped deeper into the black
Foolish and ignorant, I could not be shown what it was that I lacked
Oddly enough, even when one desires the blackness, something stronger can change you
The power of love has an amazing way of breaking through
Love can convict the heart and change one’s point of view
Love, came in the form of this person, you, and showed me the truth
The truth, in love, radiates in a majestic hue that draws me near
Love whispers to me and beckons me to it, for an embrace, right here
I was and am caught off-guard by its overwhelming intentions
It has wanted me to accept the touch of another and pushes away my apprehensions
Wondrous how love has sweetly broken through
Its innocent seduction has made me anew
The thought of once trying to live without love now sickens me
For how could I have ever lived fulfilled existence minus the presence of thee
