FACETS

By being there…

When no one else was

You showed me what love looks like

By listening to me…

When no one else would

You showed me that you cared

By opening your heart  by staying...

While the eyes of mine were shuttered

You showed me vulnerabilty

By falling asleep in my arms…

While I stroked your arms and face

You showed me the meaning of trust

By knowing when…

To say not a word

You showed me the wisdom of silence

By staying by my side…

During times of dark despair

You showed me so many sides of you

…I never knew were there…

 

Author's Note

be kind... at least it's sincere!

That realisation is always a good starting point in any relationship and we are all somehow related to one another at some level. This poem appears to be about some special, significant someone to the poet. And we the reader, vicariously watch and journey along with empathy and hope. Thanks for sharing. Frederick.
