When Love Breaks Me Free



Walls I built, a fortress of my own,
Crumbled by affection, a love yet unknown.
Fear's iron grip, a cell I called my heart,
Shattered by tenderness, a brand new start.

Tears that once were prisons, now cleansing rain,
Washing doubt away, a sweet, gentle pain.
Vulnerability blooms, a fragile rose,
Love's sunlight breaks through, where darkness arose.

Free from isolation, a symphony plays,
A chorus of joy in love's vibrant maze.
When love breaks me free, wings begin to take flight,
Soaring on courage, bathed in golden light.
