Healer

Strange as it might be, I  felt that I was looking at a complete stranger. The person I knew had simply disappeared under the deep-set eyes and scruffy beard.

“You accepted me when I needed acceptance.

You  gave me care when I needed to be cared for” he says.

Hmmm, I scoffed at the empty words and said.

“When I found you,

I looked in those eyes.

I saw a lot of pain, a lot of confusion, a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of hatred, a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of loneliness.

And

I drew a sun in your dark sky

I painted a rainbow in your colourless dreams

I sang a song and made you smile

I healed your pain

and when you were completely healed,

You left.

You took away my sunshine with you.”
