you were never taught to love,
therefore you dont know how to give it.
you were never shown love,
therefore you cant recognize it when you see it.
love is like seeing a stranger,
except you only see this stranger in the mirror,
you dont know yourself and no one has ever known you.
rarely will you say the words "I love you",
because most of the time it comes out as
a desperate gasp for air,
as if punched in the ribs with the feeling of having the wind knocked out of you.
you're broken,
and you wonder if you will ever make it out.
everything you've ever known,
is now foreign because it was all constantly taken from you ever since you can remember.
could you ever have protected yourself?
Oh, my poor broken soul..
I bring you the cure,
so that you can grow once again.
I cannot rebuild you,
because you were never brought forth.
instead I will create you,
and I will teach you.
I will build love in you,
and show you what it is to smile.
My poor broken soul,
you have such beautiful eyes.
the look of painful happiness
everytime your gaze is set.
as if you were a rabbit,
coming out in the daylight,
looking up to the sky wondering if that hawk has spotted you.
but you look beautiful from up here.
but it wasnt like that before was it?
the happiness?
is that new to you?
did you ever experience joy?
it hasnt been often--where you could be let out of your cage.
where you could explore and be free and know yourself as you.
im sorry,
I wish I could pick up those pieces.
but instead, I will free you from this cage.
your wings will spread
you will be the hawk,
and the animals your prey.
instead of being afraid
you will be feared by all the evil in this earth.
your head will be crowned
with rings on every finger
as He once said,
"I will make your enemies a footstool for your feet ti rest."
you will know what its like, to rest your head on this field of lilies.
under the tree in the shade,
enjoying every sunset,
and the view of the ocean.
that smile is my favorite place,
and I will make sure it will never be erased.
You're my island,
And alone with you,
Is where I want to stay.
I love you.
my beautiful, soul.
