I don't know
Why I get tapped
Or touched
Or whatever you
Want to call it.
I can't help
That when I look
At one person
And simply smile
Then I look at
Another…
The world stops
The universe downloads
…
How it feels about her.
Suddenly I know
What she was like
When she was
A little girl
Before high school
And learning to be
Pretty for survival.
I see that little girl
In an instant I
See a whole life
And how a spirit
Is crushed.
She knows
Exactly where each
Young girl is
On the path
And how tragically
It ends
If you are both
Too smart
Or too much
To handle…
It has nothing to do
With them
It is herself she
Sees…
My heart breaks
And aches to
Look at her
Even though
There is nothing
Wrong,
She is comfortably
In her element.
I don't know
Why I see
Or know these things.
I don't understand
Why my heart
Aches and breaks
At only this
Or that person…
Why does the Divine
Place on me
To reach out
To them
Like my breath
Is going to leave
My chest forever
If I don't do it?
Worst of all
It's true.
I say a few words
And the energy
Flows
And the walls
And carefully crafted
Armor collapses
Suddenly
There I am
On the inside
Beside some
Broken child
In an adult body
And before I know it
Tears are streaming
Out of both
Of our eyes…
And I've not
Even said anything
To her yet.
The love
Of the Divine
Is so overwhelmingly
Intense
There is no
Rational
For it,
Other than
She deserves
It…
The love…
The acceptance
The unconditional
Understanding.
Such things
And deep feelings
Are meant for
Soul mates
And angels
Who can feel
The broken
Hearts
Of the children
We keep
Locked away inside.
I had great
And epic
Love
Twice.
It's not normal
To have such
Great love…
Great betrayal
And still
Have enough room
To love to tears
Humanity
So they can love
Themselves
And find love
Again.
But then again
I have never
Been
Normal…
Perhaps my
Problem is
Trying to
Think I can
Have a normal
Kind of love…
When I am
Anything
But normal.
