You found me angry and alone, an ice cold heart.
One isolated from others, a man living apart.
Under your sweet attentions and loving care,
Slowly, ever so slowly, I started to share
All the horrible details of my miserable life;
Very bitter episodes of self-centered strife.
Eventually, I became a better person than before;
Daring to love for loves sake, not to keep score.
My life story I had once believed to have ended
Every day now has a new page happily appended.

Emotional!
Liked this poem, you've sketched very well about the link of LOVE and LIFE. An unhappy heart then is a smiley icon now. liked this, and you proved that in love your judgement can anytime fall for good, or for bad. thanks for sharing

Thanks. I like the challenge of doing an acrostic. It was my first one.

Daring to love for loves sake , wonderfully put , I understand this poem totally , I felt like that at a time , I didn't want pity or words I didn't want someone to say they understand when they really didn't and I hated more then anything when I would finally open up to people and they would run away , but life goes on and at some point we meet the right person the one who makes us truly who we are today ...
some of it is us , growing , moving on , letting go , but sometimes , its alot of help from someone else ..
Anyhow I'm rambling yet again ...
This was good ...
