As a gift it is given,
with scant recognition of thanks.
Premium value denied its worth,
for this greatest gift is given on earth.
Freely given with hearts fondest wishes,
rejected by unwanted attention.
Honestly mistaken for advances,
love for lust, compassion for obsession.
Unseen for what it is,
the truth twisted under jaded eyes.
Lost in the tangled past of barbed lies,
severed from the truth of love before the dawn of understanding.
Innocence lost in the crushing swells of misguided thought,
tender warmth traded for stone cold shell.
The pain buried deep within,
glimpsed through soulful eyes filled
with a longing to be freed of the undeserved chains on her heart.
Searching for a way to deliver,
to snap through the webs thick weave.
To lift her free from the of callous hearts.
Searching for salvation in the arms of another,
history of others mirroring our own.
Within ourselves lies out salvation,
lifted upon the wings of love from another.
To save each other we save ourselves.
