The Wolves Howling In My Head

Restraint

I have to control myself.

Can't reach to you,

Can't bring you stability.

Through my small window I see -

You aren't as happy as can be.

You're not mine to reach out to.

Everyone has their off days,

That's no reason to contact you.

It's not my job anymore,

Just the caregiver instinct;

But I must practice restraint.
