What Do you think about my poem?

I thought I must give up on life


And turn into a stone;


The desert wind quite suited me:


No heart, no mind--just bone.


I thought it would be dumb to try


To want something again;


Wanting turns to need, and then


Transmogrifies to pain.





I laughed at people still in love


Who trusted someone's word;


To make my happiness depend


On faith seemed quite absurd.





I lay alone and wonder-struck,


Sleepless in my bed,


Still numb, still dumb, still ice, ice cold,


Not knowing I was dead.





And then you came and shone upon


My meadow full of snow,


And saw the flowers only love


Could recognize and grow;





And made me feel so beautiful


I shed my cold, cold skin,


And opened up my heart to you,


And, fearful, let you in.





And now, my dear, I am in love,


With all that I've been through.


I know the worst of all the world,


And I believe in you.
