Chapter 124

Hear

I want to touch your heart
So very hard I have tried
I have felt all your pain
With you I have bled and cried

An infatuation can occur in seconds
That is the physical attraction
But that is nothing lasting
Just an unsustainable distraction

I know that you resist the thought
That real beauty flows deep within
As time erases physical beauty
All that is left is wrinkled withered skin

The love trapped in your heart
Seeks the same returned reaching out
Burnt stung abused used stolen by some
Fills you with trepidation and doubt

Love is there, you know it is
Without direction or reciprocation
It can bleed your soul, stab your mind
Bestowed genuinely leads to emancipation

I am far yet so near but real
To share I am always here
When your mind needs someone to listen
I open my heart and mind and hear

Nobody
