♥ Thursday, September 06, 2007
Have you ever felt what it's like to be unloved?
Out of love?
Do you know what it's like to lose something?
Or someone, you really held close.
Once upon a time?
Have you ever felt that sense of helplessness?
Where you are reaching out.
To someone, somehow.
But nobody hears you.
Do you know what it feels like to be in the water?
In a sea of perils and ruthless cold.
Drowning.
Felt the chill of the winter blizzard?
Leaving what's on you only frostbites.
Here and there.
Until you're frozen.
Heard the rustle of the leaves above you?
Telling you something you cannot hear
Speaking a language you cannot understand
But once knew.
And then, just when you're about to give up.
Someone swims across his ocean
Crosses his road
Sprints across his never-ending field
And rescues you
Panting,
Dog-tired,
Soaked to the skin.
You can see in the slight glimmer of light
That penetrates the ocean's waves.
A form, someone, something,
Reaching out to you
Like you once had reached out to someone else.
You can hear it through the vacuum
That encloses you and all around
His desperate attempts to save you
Save him
The rush and rustle of his hands
Against the water
Like the sound of the leaves
But this you could understand.
It is the language where only you speak
Only he speaks
In the vacuum no one else can hear you
Nor understand.
And then, you fall into an abyss,
Defying physics,
Breaking law,
Contradicting reason,
But you don't care.
Suddenly, the burst of air through your lungs
Wakes you,
From your dream of sanctuary
Of your abyss.
And you are brought to reality.
You get up.
And you brush your teeth.
Have you ever?
