words Eliza Dunn
feature image Chelsie Morey
You cry heavy sobs that are soft and silky
They float around me, and I tenderly tell them
It’s ok.
But your words are sharp and bitter
They bite down onto my ears and I tell them
Let go.
Your cries don’t bite, they speak
They ask for comfort and care, and I tell them
It’s ok.
But your words are cruel and complete
Empathy please beware
–Let go.
