WORDS

His words found me wanting

Needing more of his lyrical flow

I felt as if I knew him intimately

I felt his words to the depths of my soul.

His past, his pain, his love, his life

All through stories he told

At times I was saddened by his trials

Yet I knew those days were all gone.

It hurts to know he ever felt sadness,

Why has he touched me so with his words

Like silk they flow caressing me

Feeding this need that grows.

Then one day came the awful news

You would have thought it was happening to me

I cried so hard and long, for what felt like forever

I thought maybe its just words, how could this really be

I reached out to him, across time and space

To let him know how much I cared

And that no matter what happens my love for him was real

And that I was willing to be there til the end

I wrote to him and let him know he was not in this alone

So many prayers, so many people cared

And my God would see him through.

I told him it was ok to be angry

It was ok to mad to be scared

Scream, kick, break things it don’t matter

But fight back, and don’t give in.

Now he’s better and he reached out to me,

Letting me into his world

Sharing with me all his pain

But also his love, and his joy.

It’s strange how we met through words alone,

But in them I found love and comfort

And now my soul feels like it’s finally come home.
