Sharing Some of My Poetry- Words

I am working on publishing a compilation of my poetry...Here is a piece that fits...

You are still willing. You want to forgive.  You want to feel something, anything and so you fight. You try to figure it out. You scream, yell, spat, mutter, cry, shake and you fight. You start getting to know each other again, texting, dating and flirting again. You spend the time you need to renew what you thought was escaping your grasp and you take it one day at a time while you try to fall in love again. You find ROMANCE.  You find ou
