The hole in my heart was so very deep
I thought it would never be filled.
I was giving up on hope and love
because I was giving up on trust.
Family, friends, partners and strangers,
each one became an enemy of my mind.
I held them all at arm's long length;
a distance to protect myself.
Until an angel appeared before my eyes
and greeted me with her wings.
Landing softly upon my heart
filling up the hole inside.
She restored my faith in selfless hearts;
that kindness was still alive.
My heart began to trust again
and believe in love and hope.
And inside my heart I shall keep her forever
where she will always feel my love
and forever be my strength.
