this place

My mind is in this place,

in a place where my heart longs

to be.

At this place,

there's unconditional & everlasting love

with no boundaries or limitations.

My mind frequently visits

and my heart

has yet to go.

I've tried to get my heart there

but she stays where she is.

I say, I'll give her time to

catch up with my mind.

And just when I think

they're there,

my heart changes her mind.

When I ask her why?

She replies,

I'm scared, of the hurt

caused by lies that abuse my

emotions but most importantly,

I'm scared of not being

loved back.

My mind tells her,

there's nothing to be scared of.

She says,

if I can't trust you,

then how can I trust,

this place?
