Something in Me

Something in Me

A Poem by Jesse Booker

Once I was shrouded in darkness
Garbed in a cloak of despair
I concealed my heart from the world

My heart was wretched to my eyes
A most shameful thing to bare
I had resolved to destroy it

Love had become a bitter curse
And affection was a snare
So I vowed to become hollow

Somehow you saw through the darkness
And found something true and rare
And you found a healer, like you

With each embrace, I am restored
And with each moment we share
The world becomes bright and vibrant

Mending each other with every touch
We join together as a pair
And reveal our hearts with every smile

Even in my darkest hour
You saw through the cloak I wear
And you saw that something in me

There are always some people in our life who see the light in us which encourages us to battle on with the mess of life. Nice reading your composition. Great read ☺
