the fates have bidden
alone i wept in the dark
my screams died
in guilt's choking embrace
no one heard
or ever peaked in
on the little girl lost
I was hiding within
she trembled
& shrank away
from the voices
that pointed & laughed
telling her she was of no use
& just no damned good
she wore wickedness
as a barricade
for any foolish enough to come in
to frighten anyone
who came close enough
to her true self she hid
with a pain she held tight
she walked through everyday
aching & crying
she felt herself fade
then with a mirror
you shone light
on what i thought was well hidden
& with your words
uttered come out
into my love you are bidden
with a fierce braveness
your poetry sang to me
untied my binds
& gently opened my eyes
so I might see
a new dawn
where i too
can run free
in the sanctuary
that the fates
have so wonderfully gifted me

Beautiful Dark Angel, your words of pain break my heart. To feel so lost within and unnoticed is an agonizing thing. You are much loved and never out of my heart or mind. Sending so much love and so many hugs your way. I do so love you
