Sta.sh
He found her alone that night
The boy who never knocked
She was curled on her side
In a web of fabric and feathers
Tangled and woven by restless sleep
Tears adorned her lowered lashes
But stained her cheeks in ruined glory
Even when finally at rest
It seemed that fear pursued her
Causing her to shudder
A cruel and unfair hunter.
She stirred not a breath
When her unseen visitor
Knelt by her side
But his words, perhaps,
Fell not so in vain
They may have found their whispered way
Through tears and nightmares
Despair and pain:
"Through better or worse, I hope you know
That what you once held dear
Will once again be precious
The smile you've had to make a lie
Will shine strong and pure and true
That weakness helps you find strength
In the hearts of those you never knew you had
And finally, that good will always come
No matter how long things seem bad."
So saying, he leaned forward
To kiss her tears away
Of course, she felt not a single touch
To verify his stay
With a sigh not understood
By any who drew breath
He retreated to his silent watch
The boy who loved her beyond death
The boy who was always with her
The boy who never knocked.
