Healing

My heart was not prepared for this yet it has happened Though it has been stolen by unkind deceptions before you ever came For this reason, I am wary Having been torn from my bosom so many times before I have kept careful vigil That I might avoid that Cruel little death I so abhor Cut by jagged foul blades so cruelly and insipidly incised Obsidian rending flesh while I screeched in ever increasing and unyielding pain So mortally damaged and deranged I locked and barred the portals and edifices Of the bashed and battered mound of now pulpy flesh That none would do such harm again and then came a gentle rapping and a kindly yet urgent voice sweetly singing at the barred and barren portal so ensconced NAY say I, none shall ever be worthy of interloping here again No more injury could occur inside without imminent death of being Off with ye, none has trodden lightly afore Still, I heard a tapping and the sweet singing that was present here before and now words can be heard within the gentle song aye tis another grand deception thought I, one more cruel trick with which to mortally flay me But this entreat was different it came with a ring of truth No bold professions of everlasting and undying falsities And as I listened, these words were different than all before there were no if's or but's maybe was never uttered Clear and untroubled it came expressed in simple words honesty, compassion, hope Intrigued by this I threw one bolt to better hear Naer once did I hear the one word I had been fooled by so many times before Caring, kindness, healing I heard these, for the first time And for the first time, sensed A simple profound truth within Locks opened, the door inched apart a fraction that I might hear "I will not hurt you" and even though these same words I'd heard before The gentle manner in which they were expressed, was unheard of " I will heal you if you let me in" " I know who you are" What is this? None came close to this before. The chains dissolved, locks, door and all turned to dust I was understood I was healed
