Patient Eyes
Look at me with patient eyes,
Getting to know me is not going to be easy
I've been put away for some time.
My way of thinking is not the same.
My level of trust has been broken.
You must approach me slowly,
I don't know your intentions.
Call my name so I turn your way-
I know now you are a friend,
And not an enemy.
Look at me with patient eyes.
Loving me is not going to be easy
I've been put away for some time.
Reach out to me slowly,
Your touch is unfamiliar.
As your hands touch my body
A sense of fear covers me-
Quickly comforted by the patient look in your eyes.
