Gingerly, tenderly, he unwrapped her
His eyes could barely comprehend the
scattered bruises
random stitching and
visible scars upon her heart
He softly, carefully swaddled her again
in fresh cloths of security
His searching lips found her waiting kiss
to help heal her deep wounds
Cradling her safely
to stop her shaking
looking into her trusting eyes
in disbelief he inquired
"My God!!
Who in the world did this to you, my love?"
She held back her tears and whispered,
"You did."
