seeking love once more,
in my later prime,
will i be desired,
on love’s stage, will i shine?
healing from past pain,
finding peace in my soul,
yet, loneliness lingers,
a heavy, haunting toll.
can i be enough,
for love to find its way,
after hurt and heartbreak,
do i still have a say?
in the dance of romance,
can i take the lead,
or am i relegated,
to the sidelines, in need?
redemption in these words,
feels like a distant dream,
in the pursuit of love,
i may no longer redeem.
