down side streets where the possibilities of love
were parked close to the curbs of my heart
I was afraid of another flat tire
leaving me stranded on the roads of loneliness
with no one ever stopping to give me that lift
I needed to refuel the engine of my passion
But one day I took a turn
on a street with no exit
Where
There was no end of a road
but a beginning to a natural
feeling of connection
that served as the spark plugs reigniting
my broken down emotions with the renewed
energy of romantic discovery.

I reckon this says in these lines:
ReplyDeleteHeartbreak has had me afraid to travel
down side streets
what the whole poem is trying to say. These lines are so vivid they stand alone as a poem.
