~
The little bird glides…
Upon broken wings…
Burdened by pain…
And unable to sing…
Not able to focus…
On the world around…
Her ears are deaf…
Can’t hear a sound…
Consumed by the black…
That covers her eyes…
Distorts all her senses…
She’s blind as she flies…
Into the huge storm…
That rages ahead…
Battling her demons…
Who want her dead…
Struggling to find…
A sanctuary shelter…
A safe place to land…
Someone to help her…
To tend her wounds…
See her though the night…
Ease all her worries…
Listen to her plight…
Someone she can trust…
With her inner fears…
Hold her so very tight…
And dry all her tears…
Instead she is left…
So cold and alone…
Far far away from…
Where she called home…
And the one she left…
Who broke her heart…
Leaving her needing…
To make a fresh start…
Where she can begin…
To rebuild and live…
As she’ll never go back…
And she’ll never forgive…
