This Woman's Work

I miss her

 

I know, dear

But we need to keep walking

There are greater plans for you

 

 

Her

Life pans inwards these days, aiming straight for my heart. It’s broken but it still beats. Yours is silent and it chokes my spirit. I want to break everything that makes noise. I want to trash everything that has a voice. I want to supress everything into silence and stillness. I want the world to stop for just a spell so I can catch my breath. 

 

But most of all, I want one second, just one second, when I can hold your hand in mine in order to let go.
