“NO ONE EVER TOOK THE TIME”
SHE TOOK MY HEART FROM MY BODY AND EVER SO GENTLY WITH HER HANDS,
CARESSED IT SLOWLY AND TOLD ME THAT THE NOURISHMENT OF MY SOUL WOULD SOON BEGIN,
SHE TOLD ME STORIES OF HER OWN, AND SHE SHOWED ME EVERY WOUND,
TOLD ME HOW HER BODY AT TIMES FELT LIFELESS AND IN HER HEART FOR LOVE SHE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE ROOM,
WE TOOK TURNS SHARING HAPPY AND HURTFUL STORIES AND TOGETHER LAUGHING AT A FEW,
SOMEHOW OUR STORIES CREATED NEW SPACE INSIDE HER HEART FOR LOVE ANEW,
WHAT DID YOU DO?
SHE ASKED, AND WHY TO YOU IS IT SO EASY FOR ME TO GIVE IN?
NO ONE HAS EVER TAKEN THE TIME TO HOLD MY HAND AND WITH PURE INTENSITY LISTEN,
WITH MY BOYISH GRIN –
I MOVED CLOSER AND DEEP IN HER EYES I LOOKED IN,
I WHISPERED TO HER “IT IS POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THE FEAR FROM WHAT THEY SAW IN YOUR EYES – IT’S CALLED REFLECTION”,
IF THEY AREN’T RIGHT THEMSELVES WHAT CAN THEY OFFER YOU?
SHE SAID THEN WHAT IS IT YOU SEE? I QUICKLY RESPONDED PASSIONATELY I SEE A PERSON WHO’S FLAME BURNS SO DEEP AND TRUE,
I SEE LOVE WITH NO LIMITS, AND NO HANDS ON THE CLOCK OF TIME,
SHE FELL INTO MY ARMS AND CRIED -SHE CRIED AND CRIED AND CRIED,
WITH TEARS IN HER EYES SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID,
FOR ALL THESE YEARS I’VE WALKED THIS EARTH MY HEART HAS BEEN SO DEAD,
YET AS A BOOK YOU PICKED ME UP AND SIMPLY READ,
ALL THE PAIN AND HURT THAT I’VE BEEN FORCED TO HARBOR DEEP WITHIN,
ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN LIED TO AND WITH MOCKERY SPOON FED,
NO DIRECTION, NO CAUSE, JUST COMPLETELY LIFELESS AS IF A BODY WITH NO HEAD,
BATTERED AND BRUISED WAS THIS LONELY HEART OF MINE,
FURTHER EVIDENCE OF NO ONE EVER CARING TO TAKE THE TIME.
