Never Alone
The shadows behind her
wall
hold darkness for her
disguise.
She enters the addictive
shadows
and closes her beautiful
eyes.
I alone am standing there
quietly behind her wall.
She stumbles in the
darkness
my heart flutters and
breaks her fall.
In timeless hope, she’s’
been there
her loneliness is hard to
take.
She wants someone to be
with her
to softly ease the ache.
Her wall allows her peace
and quiet.
Her wall is her best
friend.
She stays behind it
looking out
allowing no one to get
in.
She built the wall for her
alone.
Her mind protects its
space.
She allows no one with
her there.
It is her private place.
Now a stranger wanders
within
and she struggles to
depart.
He puts his arms around
her.
She moves to protect her
heart.
The darkness hides his
face.
The shadows hide his
smile,
but his kindness warms
her silent soul.
It makes lingering there
worthwhile.
Now there’s no need
behind her wall
for hate or fear or pain.
Those who have the power
to hurt,
she will never hold close
again.
He whispers to her so
softly.
She moves closer, just to
hear.
He puts his arms around
her
and speaks these words so
clear.
I feel your beauty
…lonely girl.
Your angelic essence so
near.
The world’s a better
place
because you are here.
I will always love you
