Wait to love you

A Poem

I wish I could write love poems,
I wish I could write happiness,
I wish I could see past my open wounds,

But there is so much dirt inside,
I need to shove out.

One day, I will love you better
One day, I want to try better

I hope that day comes,
I hope God will wait for me
and give me enough time

To love you
To mercy you
To wait for you.
