The Voice Inside Her
10/16/07
She is still shaking, scared, and torn between
Running and taking his hand.
Still he patiently waits there with his
Hand extended.
As she looks up into his eyes,
He again
Reassures her that he wants her
And her alone,
He will wait as long as he has to.
The warmth of the light
Fears has almost completely taken over the inside
Of her too.
As it grows inside her it gives strength back
To the tiny voice
That always told her to go to the light.
She had pushed it back further and further into the
Cold darkness
Till there was nothing left of it but a whisper
That couldn’t be heard
Because all the times she had listened to it she got hurt.
As she stares into his eyes
She searches his soul for signs,
She sees something in his eyes she’s never seen before
But she knows now what it is.
The voice within her uses this sign as a way
To help persuade her to
Take his hand
And to let him love her the way she needs
To be.
After a small battle within herself the
Voice wins.
Slowly and shakily she reaches up to take
His hand.
Just as she is about to put her hand
in his
She hesitates and pulls it back.
The voice tells her
Its okay
To be scared but its time to fall in love
Again.
She musters up what little faith in
Love
She has and places her hand
In his
Without hesitation and only
A small amount
of fear.
He takes hold of her hand but
doesn’t pull her to
Her feet.
He waits for her to stand on her own.
Now she must decide
Rather to stay down, so if she falls
Because he lets her
Down
Then she won’t fall far and it won’t hurt
So bad,
Or to stand and trust him not to let her
Fall.
Which will she do?
Only Fate knows and
Only time will tell.
