passing without parting carries an unsaid comfort with it
it's as if they're allowing you to breathe;
to hope
they spare you
you do not have to feel the grief
they wouldn't acknowledge the leaving
they make you hold on to hope
make you drown in your torments
make you dream of what could be
they spare you from the reality
they make you stay as they leave
they build a home in
the memories for you
they spare you from the truth
