Thirty-One

I grieved endlessly,

Weeping for all that I wasted.

I cried until there's no more tears to shed

I mourned til I had no strength left to mourn with


And only then did I fall still,

Sobbing with nothing but utter silence


And only then did I feel,

Arms circled around me,

Rubbing my sides,

Lips pressed against my head.


And only then did I hear,

A voice, trembling with the same pain,

"Ssh, I'm here, I'm here.

It's okay, I won't ever leave you again."
