Intrusive thoughts
They come when you least expect them to

Uninvited
But somehow still make their appearance
Loud and clear

There may be a purpose
In its call for attention
But there isn’t, really

No matter what you do
Driving
Cooking
Working
Reading
Taking a shower
Planting a flower

They.Will.Always.Come.Back.

There once was a girl
Whose face said it all
Tears streaming down her face
She no longer carries herself with grace
Could it be heartbreak?
A bad day at work?
Perhaps that’s all that there is
A mix of pain with deep longing
For someone or something
But who and what?
Curiosity spurred on inside of me
And I decided to act
Either now or never

Sitting next to this girl now
My eyes instantly lock with hers
I silently mutter to her,
“What happened?”
But all I hear is silence
The kind of silence
That sends shivers down your spine
And I can’t help but feel it
In the deepest parts of my soul
So much so,
That I see my reflection in her eyes
When I felt scared and lonely
Waiting for someone to save me
But not this time, no

At last, I put my hand on hers
Speaking out from under my breath
With the words
“Everything will be okay”
And that’s all she needed to hear
To become like herself again

I still remember the way she carried herself
With dignity and respect like she earned it
Her smile ever so infectious
It could turn sad faces into happy ones
From the moment she spoke
Her voice gave way to a gentle nature
As if it could put any crying baby to sleep
I can vividly picture her beauty
The perfect role model she is
Standing in her modest dress
With a natural look on her face
So angelic, so innocent
Her arms covered me in a tight embrace
The feeling of love spilling onto me
A type of euphoric high
The kind you feel when you have a sister
Who protects and cares
A bond that is irreplaceable
By two people who are linked by blood
Their love for each other is that strong
As if I don’t already have that
But with who? And will this love remain forever?
