Day 23: Aftermath

Aftermath

i want you to know that if i told you,

you probably wouldn't understand, because

in the end it's easier to believe

that we're the only one who

will ever get it anyway.

it isn't really.

this is a poem about love

and family

and the way they mostly take your words away,

or mine, anyhow,

and they leave you frozen -

but you knew that, didn't you?

you probably already knew - 

but I wouldn't complain if you said it anyway:

i'm listening, or

i hear you, or

me too.
