Flashback: Stone

Her heart
Was like a stone
Put on display

It was heavy
It was cold
But it was firm

He’d made them
All believe
She’d always been this way

The truth
It was always him
But she’d finally learned

Everyone
Was shocked
When she left that day

But it was
No surprise
When the tables turned

She finally left
When there was
Nothing positive to say

She was frightened
But she was tired
Of getting burned

She left
For she was weary
And felt all alone
She left
When her heart
Finally turned
To stone.

Flashback: Friendly

Friendly
Is the smile
On the mouth
Of a familiar face
When you walk
Into a room.

Friendly
Is getting a gift
From a person
Whom you didn’t
Believe even
Liked you.

Friendly
Is the tail
Of a wagging dog
When he sees
You at the door.

Friendly
Is getting a hug
From someone else
Who needs
That hug more.

Friendly
Is sharing a meal
With someone
Who cooked it
From scratch.

Friendly
Is knowing
There are strangers
Whom will
Always have
Your back.
