BROKEN

You found me broken at the side of the road
Dazed, confused and almost no hope
You sat down beside me and chatted a while
Then stretched out your hand and said with a smile
“Come walk with me down this road
We’ll take a few steps and see where we’ll be.
It’s a good time to live, just come walk with me."

I looked up and saw magic in your eyes
And felt a spark light somewhere deep down inside
You held my hand and dragged me along
“This is life’s road. It’s where we belong.”

I walked by your side in wonder and awe
At the beauty that is in all that we are.
You showed me the love you wanted to share,
So I walked at your side along this strange road
Learning of love and yearning for more.


I turned to the side and the path that was there
“Come walk with me down this wandering path?”
You smiled as you said “Of course I will dear.
We’ll make our own path and tend it with care.”

So we walked down that road paying no mind
To those who would laugh as we passed by.
So when we walked home the very last time
And we lay down forever in each other’s arms.

And when we were gone and the laughter had died
All they could say is,
”Where are the lovers so old and so grey
Who lived their love new each and every day.”

About this poem:
I write quite a lot now "I am Broken and alone"
and I wrote this in about 15 minutes when i Woke in the middle of the night. At the time I was just starting to explore the realm of dating. Unsure and eager. I was rewarded by a scammer contacting me one one of the sites i was on. Never the less I was flattered and this is what spilled out of me that evening when I thought that I might have received an opportunity to love again
