A Bond Of Love
A bond of love
that is honest
will pull you closer
to yourself
when the fragile bond
between you and your heart
pushes you apart
from the you
that some part of you
wishes to embrace
but is blinded
by the overshadowing presence
of pain and dismay in it

The one who admires you
won't keep you away
from yourself
or make you yearn
to meet yourself
just for
the sake of
staying close to you

It won't heal you
It won't break you
it will make it easier
for you to heal
and collect
your broken pieces
in the safe belief
of loving
and protecting yourself

It won't injure
the confident heart of yours
or lessen the love
you have for self
but prompt you
to brighten your smile
each time
the thought of
who you are
crosses your head

It won't ask you
to leave what makes you
for the sake of strengthening
the connection you share
It will help you
find who you are
and not lose yourself

It will pull you closer
when not only
the ones around you
but you also
attempt to throw
yourself away
