i found you
wandering
with no place to go
i found
you wondering
if you were alone
every door seemed shut
windows locked
no light could enter
shades drawn tight
with
thoughts
of loneliness and despair
thinking
no one
would ever care

scary
to open one’s heart
feeling
only hurt will enter once more
never
to imagine
others in the same cold

you are not the 1st
to be in that place
i’ll reach my hand
i’ll reach with my heart
i’ll pry the windows
…………………. doors and shades
i
will not let you fade away
