Klem

Can I hug you?

For the fact that you are the only one, I can trust.

I said

My soul was empty 

It had nothing to lose

It's time that it had to be filled up

With a face that would resemble the gentleness of the rain 

that would nourish and quench the thirst of many 

You laid out your arms wide and nodded 

I sat on your lap and held your chest tenderly

To lend my ears to your beating heart that was bleeding evidently

In silence. 

You locked me in your body with your arms

It's the warmest I've ever felt

The safest lock.

For you and i.

For everything that had happened behind us.

We had no reason to feel joy. 

But grief and pain.  

You were quiet.

I was empty. 

It was stormy outside, so was my mind

conflicted with trauma and shattered heart made up of glass

You were silent all this while - you didn't talk 

For the fact that your heart was crying for help and assurance

You had your own history that stabbed you in the back 

I stroked it

And he lost it. 

The man that defined the meaning of silence - spoke out after a long time

A sigh escaped from your mouth

You sniffed my hair and kissed it

You had no one but I

I had no one but you

Tears escaped from our eyes as the warmth began to paralyze us

We snuggled up and held ourselves tighter

As the storm grew heavier and the thunder rashed upon the sky

The power went down and everything was dark

We looked at each other

Broken and Battered

We had no other option to let go of the pain

that was holding us from moving further

We stroked each other's cheeks and held ourselves close

Eye to eye

Mouth to mouth

In sorrow

And a need for comfort

We kissed 

Cried

And kissed again

To let it all out. 

We weren't happy with what happened to us behind this time

But now, we never felt relieved after the hug of "empathy" 

I understand you

You understand me

We've been through this

We will come out soon

And only that - matters.
