Unsuspecting Heart

I never thought I would be able

To trust in anyone again

I never thought this shattered heart

Would one day be able to mend.

When I least expected it

When my guards were down

You snuck right under my radar

I felt as though I would drown

Drown in the feelings

You released inside of me

I had not noticed the darkness

Until you made me see

One can live their entire life

Without ever really living

Going through the learned motions

But not really ever giving.

The things I had been missing

I could now so clearly see

I felt the change within myself

I think you would agree.

Light replaced the darkness

That I had been living by

Unable to fight the swarming emotions

The only thing I could do was cry.

You did not ask me to let you in

I did not offer or even agree

Yet in your own unknowing way

You accidentally set me free.

This heart I guarded with all my might

Did not put up much of a fight

My mind filled with panic and fear

Yet it still felt so right.

The heart knows what it wants

I now see this is true

For whatever reason it may be

My heart has chosen you.
