• Healing…

   

   

  I was watching you from across the room

  The way you walked, and how you spoke

  I couldn’t help notice the confidence you had

  Or how amazing the healing that flowed from your hands

  It struck me for the first time as I looked at you

  The strength you so willing gave 

  I took in the steeled look of your back, the thickness of your arms

  Its a wonder then how gentle you really are

  Selflessly you give of yourself

  Over and over again

  Taking that which was broken and making it whole once more

  It made me wish you could reach inside my soul

  To take that part of me that was torn

  And hold it in your hands

  To heal that which I thought had been lost to me

  But it’s a dream I have when you look at me

  For I am too afraid to let you see what’s really in me

  The pain, the hate, the years I’ve cried

  The loneliness and ache I continue to hide

  The betrayals I’ve buried deep inside 

  So I sit back and watch you from my perch as you walk on through

  Never knowing the only healing I really needed is the one forever denied 

  So there I stay pretending to smile through my pain

  Never showing you the holes that are there

  Knowing that I can never heal that diseased part of me
