I wish I knew what love was

The icy cold claws of my past relationships 

Digging into my heart,

Wounding me

My usual bright, warm heart,

Now colder and dimmer

Feelings, still as powerful as the strongest God

Are now more tangled and confusing 

Harder to untangle than 10 balls of yarn,

All tangled together after kittens play with them

There is a guy

Amazing and sweet

So unlike the cruel dark claws the others had

His touch is burning hot,

Warming the darkness laying on my heart

But not easing the confusion

Instead,

He aids it

His presence heals the wounds the claws left

But,

Do I know what love is

Am I capable of love
