The Meaning of Love? MAG
The beating of my broken heart, now chained and locked away,
I hear much louder, through the night, than words we never say.
As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
Abandoned innocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.
In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
Bare feet, run, lead me home, where I am Mother’s child,
And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
If broken wings may carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.

Hey there Kiana! I really really liked your poem! :) I meant to rate it with 5 stars, but I accidentally rated 4. Sorry!
You know what, it's so funny I discovered your article - a poem about love - in the day I realised I could never work with the guy I'm into. Ironic, right? ahaha!
Well, I just wanted to congratulate you! But I also lwould ove if you checked my poems (or sort of poems; they are very plain, but I just started to write poems a weeks ago. Also I can't dig my personal feelings that well!)
