I looked at her aberrant heart,
scattered thought,
rough outlook,
raging visage spitting anger,
never able to trust any soul,
she screamed,
taunted,
traced random paths,

And in the midst of the chaos
I gently drew her towards me,
close enough so that there was no space to abut
and then I caressed her scars,
felt the pain
and remained consumed in her love,
stayed blessed,

And soon, she was not the same anymore
for I infected her with love
one, she was never aware of
