Free

She sits with her head down
Eyes closed
Solemn expression on her face
I sit down next to her
Put my hand on hers
And whisper in her ear
She opens her eyes and turns to me
I lean back and stand
Turning to walk away
She calls my name
I look back to her
She wipes her tears and says
Thank you
I smile and leave
What I said to her
Was what she needed to hear
Because she never did hear
What needed to be said
And as I found a place in her
No one ever touched
She began to live like never before
Free
