This word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
The Chapter Closes
Bones remember what the heart does not I have to pause at this spot The spot that I have tasted pain Drown in pools of tears that rain The echo of a song not sung The image of beloved one Whose hand forever slipped away On that fateful, tragic day A day not...
Trauma Part 2: When everyone does NOT make it out alive
