I Feel Torn Today.

I feel torn today;
Because for the first time,
After dark, dark days,
I felt a need of mine.

Someone who knows not me,
Rekindled a forgotten fire,
He wished to fight for me
Reminding me of strong desire:

Desire that one feels
In love’s very first flush ,
How life ere love kneels
And smiles swarm in a rush …

I feel torn today,
For I love for eternity,
But this love holds sway.
Over my dream of Care for me.
