Apr 12
i failed you —
again
and again
you
so afraid
of everything
hidden in your room
curtains drawn
windows boarded
lights gone dim
bowed before your gods
praying
begging
knowing
i’ve never known
anyone stronger —
to live
as you did
to love
as you have
exhausted
fighting
still dreaming
the world
wasn’t for you
but you
never complained
so this is
my ode to you
i’m sorry
