To unlock a heart, thats
been so tightly closed.
To help them feel
something that they
havent before.
To allow them to
surrender, and then not
run away, such unselfish
love, is a rarity today.
To stay by there side, when
there not at there best,
is truly a gift that one
can possess.
To help them feel "safe"
to just be themself,
to expose all there demons
they've kept to themselves.
This is what unconditional
love is about, to not
run away when the going
gets rough.
And this is my gift
that i give to you,
my lover, my friend
I accept you...

To accept without reservation is something many have a problem with. This poem addressing that face very well.

Dreamgal, I will take you at your word about the critiquing. There are a few places you need to correct, mostly grammar.

To unlock a heart, thats
To unlock a heart, that's

havent before.
haven't before.

To stay by there side, when
To stay by their side, when

there not at there best,
they're not at their best,

to just be themself
to just be themselves

to expose all there demons
to expose all their demons

Dreamgal, I hope you take these instances where corrections could be made in the way that they were given. I only want to see you do your best.
