The Wolves Howling In My Head

A caregiving voice

I'm still here.
I protested to stay.

He's on a one track mindset.

I need to find myself.

He's done nothing but work.

If I just put on a sleep mask and music I'll be fine.

He doesn't get more than three hours of restless sleep at a time.

I did this, I'm not allowed to grieve.

I want to say he's right, but we know he's not.

She knows I still love her right? All of her?

I don't know.

You can talk to me, I promise.
The tears are scary for me too, but it'll all be okay.
I promised I'll come back.
I keep my promises, even if he struggles to keep his.

I love you princess.
This isn't goodbye.
