A Journey With Love.
I didn't find love because I needed it.
I didn't need to travel far to seek out love,
Love sought me out.
I didn't accept love into my life because I was lonely.
I was fine before love found me
I was at peace before love came to me,
Enjoying the comfort of my solitude.
The solitude I came to value afterwards.
But then love sneaked into my life unexpectedly.
Just like the way comets come unexpectedly,
Streaking across the night sky,
That I have come to enjoy every day.
Its presence was like a blaze,
That lit every dark corner of my life.
Its presence was intense,
That I opened up myself.
Then it changed how I saw the world,
It made me open my eyes to a different world I never knew existed.
Love made me see beyond white and gray.
I became aware that bright colors of different shades existed.
Then I felt life itself pulsing in my veins.
Life became vibrant and spontaneous.
Life became an expectancy of excitement.
Every single day was filled with adventure.
Exploring every part of life became my new desire.
Everything was going fine,
Until love became a stranger to me.
Then it stabbed me in the back.
It saw me hanging on a cliff,
Still rendered no help.
I fell off as life itself became slippery.
Crashing to my death.
Pieces of me scattered all around.
The pain I felt afterwards was striking,
Different from the joy I felt when love found me.
The love I knew to be kind, patient and gentle,
Became unkind,
Became aggressive,
Became the source of my pain.
I was plunged into darkness where vibrant colors didn't exist.
I became aware of a world filled with lies, deceit and betrayal.
My life with love began to feel more like a distant memory.
A distant memory that is hard to forget.
A distant memory that brings tears to my eyes.
A distant memory that looks like an old book.
Everything around began to not matter.
I should fight to survive.
How do I survive?
How do I heal?
To survive, I had to let go.
To heal, I had to forgive.
To live again, I had to not forget the lessons I have learned.
The lessons stayed with me,
Became my guide through which I navigate life.

I feel bitterness and acceptance.

You are right! I am happy the poem resonates with you. Thank you for stopping by.
You are welcome dear
What a poignant poem! You show us the two 'faces' of life—unaware of love and experiencing love, only to encounter the harsh reality of it turning sour. I think most people can resonate with this feeling. You capture the complexities of love and relationships very well. Thank you for posting your poem in the Scholar N Scribe community. !PIMP
