I started this series to remind myself love has stages and cycles. Since I've only lived long enough to know three of those, I don't know the last stage of love. But I hope you enjoy this series.

Cycles of Love 

~ 

I. 

Can Two Hearts Form a Circle? 

~ 

Two hearts beat, 

two souls connect, 

two lives join. 

Who is to protect 

the strong? 

There's no perfect 

romance in youth. 

Abuse was the suspect. 

~ 

Two hearts beat, 

two souls feign, 

two lives separate. 

Was it all in vein? 

I'll be careful of who want enter. 

I'll be watchful of those wanting one thing. 

I won't long to be his center. 

~ 

Crushed and wounded 

have hopes from above. 

But, out of the way, 

I shove 

the hand I desperately seek. 

On the wings of a dove 

peace can be found. 

Throw away the kid glove, 

become the woman I'm supposed to be. 

Gave up on love, 

there's no winner at its losing game.
