A Twisted Assumption

For years, I never knew

Love really exists

My heart made me assume

Life is only pain

Somehow

My heart kept yearning for more

I couldn’t stop it

So I wrote, I talked

I cried and questioned

Until I understood

Love really exists

I’m just twisted inside out

I’m blinded from the truth

Somehow

My heart manages to let go

I can’t stop it

So I write, I talk

I cry and find answers

Now I understand
