Love At First Sight.....
Years ago they told her
She wasn't right in the head
A pimple-faced freak as she was
They wished she were dead.
Dead, so she won't be a bother
To their prestige and their pride
Gone forever from the shore of their lives
Like the waves of a dying tide.
A tide which shall never return
To taint their family's name
A tide which shall never again burn
Their greatly acquired fame.
Fame is all they seeked;
Love was something they never knew
As their lonely child broke apart
No one cared, but a few.
She was lost, she was broken,
Defeated to the brim
As she cut open her wrist,
She knew her chances were dim.
She felt no sorrow, no pain,
As she lay on the bathroom floor
Waiting for the endless sleep to come,
And escort her to Death's hungry door.
Just as she thought it was over
She heard an angelic voice in her head
Wake up, my child,Wake up,
Was all It said.
Wake up for its not your time
To leave the face of Earth,
For your life was never just yours
Your soulmate was chosen at birth.
He'll be your lover, your protector
He'll be everything you need
All trust, all faith you've lost
He'll help you reseed.
You can't just give up
You can't let him lose
Because you are his other half
You are his misery muse.
So push hard my dear, push hard
To escape this limbo lair
Try to open your eyes
Your Savior awaits you there.
A force snapped from within her
The world came into view, like a widening beam
And as she recalled what the inner voice said
Her eyes landed on him.
Looming above her, stood a boy
Concern showing in his eyes
Please be okay, he chanted
In a deep yet jittery voice.
As she gazed at this stranger
Now descending to the ground
Picking her up in an embrace
Expressing the feelings without sound.
They stared into each other's eyes
Now glassy with unshed tears
She felt a strange presence inside
Now warming her interiors.
Softly caressing her pale cheek,
He looped his arm around her waist
Making sure of her comfort
He slowly raised her to his chest
And her heart beat stopped
As he cradled her so tight
That was the moment she knew
This was love at first sight.
