Reach for her
across the abyss
of indifference –
would hold her dear
comfort her sorrows –
empty promises,
I now understand
have abandoned her
countless times
in the name of obligation,
this child that is me.

Passion for writing ignites my soul's momentum
You keep writing what lives inside of me! I do not think I can find a word that describes how powerful your writing is! ❤

living with the aftermath is never easy … you express it well!
We need to reconcile those two, the neglected child and the more mature adult 🙂
