Fingerprints

The details are in the centre

Marks of a beautiful kind

There you left your fingerprints

On this healing heart of mine

I know it was intentional

Maybe you’d disagree

Perhaps you will never really know

How your fingerprints healed me

I was feeling trapped and all alone

Like an animal in a cage

Then I I came to the conclusion

I had reached my final page

That was the moment I had given up

Deciding whatever will be will be

Life had been in charge of late

To do what it wants to me

But then you stood there by my side

And reached into my heart

Quietly, gently, thoughtfully

Caressing the poisoned parts

No judgement, no challenge or hurtful words

Is what I truly needed

Gradually… one day at a time

My hopelessness receded

And what was left around my heart

Was a vibrant ruby tint

And the indelible marks of compassionate love

Left by your fingerprints
