Unconditional

Seemingly untouched by the sorrows of life

Hiding a heart that is supposedly light

With happiness and joy and love

And all the gifts God sent from above

Strong, gentle, sensitive…sometimes

Selfish, untouchable, unreadable, hard to find

Protected well by a love unconditional

Insecurely relying on a built in wall

Hurting, but hiding behind a luminous smile

Keeping the secret with frightening guile

Mistrust slowly growing, afraid to believe

That friends really care and true ones don’t deceive

Seemingly untouched by the brightness of life

Revealing a heart that is assuredly quite

Heavy with mistrust, insecurity and deception

But living for love and hoping an occasion

To be loved
