Leave her alone
to write down the words
thoughts keeping her company
that are loud enough
for this silence to be their conversation
You think you know best
giving advice to a girl
you see yourself as years ago
but she doesn't need you
She cries and laughs
sobbing mercilessly
with a cup of something to warm her
where the arms she mourns
is absent
and as cold as the dead
You can't save her life
it's possible as impossible
to try and make it better
easier for her
But you can leave her be
for when she does speak
listen and work to understand
the broken healing heart
that shatters day to day
and mends at night
by her own device.
-let me go
