Gifts
Gifted you are for you
Has been the single soul
To fully hear my scream
The anguish and pain
Reverberating in me
Hear it as its tortured
As it constricts and desires to die
It’s screaming must be so loud
As to deafen those around
For they do not hear its last cry
Fearing self destruction
And the need to stay sane
I’ve been driven to this place of silence
And of words, no touch and no pain
Yet
Gently you touch it
My heart leapt as if in fright
It uncurls …swells…it is re-born
It again feels
It sees
It aches for the words you feed it
Craves every morsal
You cast its way
Saved just before it was
To be dropped into the abyss
There is an inner glow
Radiating from me
So hard to enshroud
I’ve gone searching for my self
And look what I’ve found
Reflecting back from you is me.
