Samaritan Woman
I wonder if the woman by the well
Stood by the well, because she knew
She and the well had something in common
To be mostly empty
Filled enough to nurture others
But never enough to be full
The Samaritan Woman
I wonder if she knew others felt like her
Nameless and used
I relate to the Samaritan Woman
Because I think like me
She made the mistake
Of looking for love in forgotten places
To be loved the only way she knew how
I understand the Samaritan Woman
I just wish she had a name
