When they used to speak to me
in words of love,
I responded in the language of fear:
mistrust,
unworthiness,
not good enough-ness,
fear of abandonment,
drowned the love
in doubt,
until the outcome I most feared
and anticipated
proved the hamster wheel of
love-fear-loss
was still turning.
Now,
I am the one
who speaks of love.
I am in love
with all of life --
with Everything --
and this kind of love
does not know fear,
does not need to be spoken.
It just Is.
inspired by the dVerse challenge to write a poem about love in other languages.
