It was the first time in a long time
I felt safe
Held tenderly,
Like a rescued bird
Whose broken wings
And tattered feathers
Were nursed back to life
“You deserve love”
She whispered softly
And years of turmoil
Melted away
Shoulders dropped
All resistance left the soul
The walls of my heart,
Like an overflowing dam
Busted its walls
Tears
Restrained
By years of repression
Poured down
“You do”
