Someone I Love

Someone I love To love is to- Her smile lights up the room Her laughter echoes through the hall Her voice, quiet and tender Her beauty captivates all Her mind, a wonder Her thoughts, a mystery Her heart, more fragile...than she shows freely This is the one I love She carries a heavy burden on her shoulders Yet hides her pain in the corners of her laughter Her smile conceals her inner wars Her voice sometimes betrays her Her beauty shelters hurt Her mind quietly withers Her thoughts keep her up at night Her heart trapped in "fight or flight" This is the one I love Because to love is to see, feel and understand To cry, to laugh and to accept- The parts of yourself you so painfully neglect So first, she learnt to love herself Before she loved others Because love cannot be given...unless it is felt ~𝕵💋
