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
