No one ever comes
No one ever knows
No one ever takes the time to find out the story behind her silence
She waits and waits
Waiting for the promise that she was always told
Waiting for the life yet to unfold
She hoped for the future with a smile on her face while in an intimate darkness she could not escape
Looking through the insignificant hole in the wall that let in the light
The light that was not hers and that she could not hold
But as time moved on
She did not
The smile that was full of hope slowly diminished from her face
She sat and waited for a light of her own
A light that would bring back the hope and the promise
But none came
The years faded away but she never took her eyes away from the light
even when the hope had faded from her life
One dark day when she was feeling her lowest and thought of looking away from the light
Begging for an answer
It all went black
The small insignificant hole in the wall was closed
The light vanished
She was horrified
Had her years of waiting been for nothing
But with a loud explosion of rock
She was blinded by the effulgent light that now surrounded her
Insurmountable joy engulfed her
All she could see was the silhouette of a hand reaching out to hers
As she grabbed hold she knew her years of waiting had not been in vain
Her promise had come and the darkness had vanished
The light was tangible
It was finally hers to hold
The light and promise was for the hope that had never left her eyes
