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...
