Tick Tocking

She closed the door behind her with tears locking millions of cogs , snapped shut Clock stopped ticking, tocking For a moment I stare, already knowing The cause of these emotions She plopped down like a baby born dead Deceased of vitality She started healing as soon as i lifted my eyes and smiled Worried, but calm Stormy Seas rolled over themselves into an oblivion Pain written all over In the lines, between them, in margins I could put down this piece of paper and pen Open my mind and let her in Forever Listen… I feel her story without her speaking I could run my fingers through each page Slowly easing the binding’s tense lack of elasticity Closing wounds that have opened again Your heart will always be safe here My friend
