My Desolate Heart
It’s odd,?
 the way someone can capture your attention so completely,?How someone can go from invisible to a blaring siren ?on your radar,
 ?The smirk that tugs on the corner of his lips?
 breathes life into your lungs 
 ?The tell-tale pitter-patter of your heart
 ?manifesting in the ridiculous grin quirking upon your mouth ?
 He’s a wallflower.?
 He tells you there are perks?and you roll your eyes. ?
 Fighting the smile that threatens to drop from your irises. ?
 He’s forbidden fruit, tantalizing in the danger ?of the conflicted soul you don’t yet know. ?
 Your heart’s guarded, attempting caution ?
 Yet he unknowingly slips through the chinks in your armor ?Working his way into your heart
 ?and lighting up your weary soul ?
 Resisting it seems futile?
 What began as scattered showers?has smoothly, unexpectedly become a ?monsoon in this desolate heart. ?
 You can’t stop the rain ?nor wage a war with a storm ?
 All you can do is run for cover?
 Or….?
 You can learn to dance in the downpour.
