Darkness My soul belonged to the One above my heart belonged to no one. I'd locked it away long ago and vowed to let no one know. Many seemed to see in my eyes the stairway to that door but I looked away before they could see the lock and nothing more. Some tried to force their way in some tried kindness and touch but the door remained locked to them and the nearness was too much. I didn't mind the aloneness I had it made me feel safe inside knowing that no one would take from me what was mine alone to hide. Then one day I met you. I felt something deep within. There was a longing to be true to you a longing to give again. I could feel my heart push against the door as it tried to once again be free to share all in abandonment and maybe love, this time, it would see. Your heart beckoned to mine drawing it out of it's prison.. I placed the key into the locked door and let you enter in. Soon it was free, to give again.. and I wanted it to remain with you, I wanted to entrust it in your care.. hoping it would be safe and forever true. But you were only one who helps heal the deepest wounds to reveal the true meaning of trust to those who's hearts were entombed. I did not want to let you go but you ever so gently let go my hand and very slowly walked away and because of you, my friend I now can stand. Cas
