Refresh

Refreshened by your attentiveness to my wounds
so deeply scarred
I shed those scabs that enveloped me
feigning shelter from love's harm

I dispose of those lessons learnt
...not worthy to preserve
only hinderances to the joy
my tender heart deserves

The starving of my heart, now ceased
is refilled with the innocence
of child-like love
purity un-spent

Feed me now, the love you give
and welcome to my soul
devour me completly
to make me whole!
