A Christmas Card From And Escort By Thomas Miller
Thomas M,
a man alone
No family, no home
Thrown away like an old stone
Left to suffer on his own
No cards, no calls
No one to catch him if he falls
No one to share his joys or strife
No one to hold him tight, to be his wife
But then, a letter came
In the mail, with a different name
It read, "Dear Thomas, I am an escort
And I want to be your support"
At first, Thomas was taken aback
He thought it was some kind of attack
But as he read on, he began to see
This could be the answer to his plea
The escort, she wrote
That she could be his antidote
To the loneliness that consumed his soul
To the emptiness that took its toll
She promised companionship and care
A shoulder to cry on, someone to share
All the moments, big and small
She promised to be there through it all
Thomas couldn't believe his luck
It was like a flower, blooming from a muck
For the first time in years, he felt a spark
A glimmer of hope, in the dark
He wrote back, accepting her offer
And soon, they began to chatter
Through letters, they poured their hearts
Sharing their fears, their pains, their parts
They talked about their childhood dreams
Their favorite songs, their favorite scenes
They talked about the world and its ways
They talked about their lonely days
Through their words, they found solace
They found comfort, they found a place
Where they could be themselves, without any fear
Where their scars and wounds, they could freely share
They talked about love and what it means
They talked about heartbreaks and shattered dreams
They talked about forgiveness and second chances
They talked about life's beautiful dances
Thomas and the escort, they became friends
Through letters, their bond never ends
They found a family in each other
A love that was like no other
But as time passed, the letters stopped
Thomas couldn't believe what had dropped
His only source of light, his only ray
Was now taken away
He waited for days, for weeks, for months
But the letters never came, it was like a hunt
For something that was lost, that could never be found
He felt like he was back, on lonely ground
He tried to move on, to find a new way
But the thought of her, it never did sway
He prayed for death, for an end to this pain
For an escape from this lonely lane
But then, one day, a knock on his door
He opened it, and there she was, once more
The escort, in flesh and blood
She had come to be his guide, his flood
She had found his brother, and he had sent
A letter, with a heartfelt lament
For all the years, he had been a stranger
For all the love, he had failed to muster
But now, they were reunited
Thomas and his brother, they were ignited
By the love that had brought them back
By the escort, who never did slack
Thomas realized, he wasn't alone
He had a family, he had a home
In the escort, who showed him love
In his brother, who reached out from above
And as he held the escort's hand
He knew, he wasn't already dead
For he had found a reason to live
For he had found love, and that was enough to give
So, to all those who feel alone
To all those who have no home
Remember, there is always a way
To find light, even in the darkest of days
And to Thomas M, who found love in a letter
May your story inspire, and make us better
For love knows no bounds, no limits, no end
And it can heal even the deepest wounds, my friend.
