Shhh!! Listen..


SHHH!!

Can you hear the screams and the cries of the lies that have been told to her in her lifetime?

Again, she is looking for, searching for, yearning for the right time...

To spill... Spill? ... No, No, No... Spill? As if on accident ?!

More like pour... Pour onto the floor... WAIT!... Floor? ...  No, No, No ... Floor? As if to be Stepped on ?!

More like give... Give to you this love to live through ...  Give? ...  No, No, No ... Give?

What if it isn't accepted? Will I have to accept it? Accept the fact that you wouldn't take my love?

Take ... Yes... Take.... Take my love from me as if it were yours all along.. Take this love as if you belong.. Here filling this heart with the truth that my heart is starving for...

But Wait ....

Will you GIVE me your love? 

Will you POUR your heart out for me?

Will you let those words SPILL out of your mouth to me?

NO...

Thus we are back to the beginning...

SHHH!!

Can you hear the screams and the cries of the lies that have been told to her in her lifetime?

Yet again, she is looking for, searching for, yearning for the right time...

Not to SPILL, POUR, GIVE, or for you to TAKE her love... But for her to OPEN her heart to you...

All you have to do is listen and be true.
