She reminds me of a Nightingale

A big 'HI' to all members of this forum. A newbie here, and this is my first attempt at writing on a forum...so please bare with my writing... and thanks Ana for the welcome... it truly did boost me to write up something...and post it too.

This is dedicated to all those who try to fight back domestic violence in their own way.👍🏼

She reminds me of a nightingale, so beautiful but so rare;
life isn't all smiles, it has its share of despairs...
She sings me a song, that seeps into my heart;
I realize, it's the ballad of her life's darkest part...
I always tend to 'hear', but this time i listen;
her woes and cries, make my eyes glisten...
She who once, was an epitome of glory;
wears bruises and wounds, a sight of gory...

She reminds me of a nightingale, who sings at night;
'cause that's the only time, she can vent out her plight...
"Leave him'' I say, and she looks at me so;
she finds me as a friend, who just turned to foe...
"How can I just, walk out this door;
I just can't help, but love him all the more"...
I reach out to her, and try to explain;
shedding her pearly tears, has nothing to gain...
"This is not what, a true love will do;
it sets you free, if it truly loves you"...

Time flies by, as she ponders on my words;
the night is heralded, by the returning birds...
At last she looks at me, eye to eye;
and I know, she's saying her final goodbye...

Breaking, the shackles of tyranny;
she sets out to find, a new destiny...

She reminds me of a nightingale, soaring high;
reaching out, to the never ending sky...

And now to all those nightingales, who couldn't make it through;
the endless horizon out there is calling out for you...


With love and hope,
The Inner Voice... Sneha 😊

I just love this beautiful piece of art! I especially love how you added a dialogue and how the narrator wasn't the victim. Beautiful!

Thanks a lot Ana... This truly means so much... they say 'a push is all you need sometimes' and i must admit your reply to my very first post here did it for me... Thank You Dear... 🤗
