Bound Hands Holding a Crushed Heart

I hear it though a friend
and my knees begin to bend.
"It's Sasha"

My eyes grow,
the world begins to slow.
my heart stops beating
logic is fleeting

Hands quiver,
a gut-wrenching thought
clings hold in my chest

Vision blurrs,
tears well up,
lungs get tight.

8 pills she took
for hope she forsook.
Not one word on her pain
I was cluless again.

Failure floods my lungs
I seem to have lost my tongue
feet slowly plodding foward,
the little left of my mind disordered.

Words fail me
why didn't I foresee.
Knowing she is alive,
makes some fear deprive.

Too much unknown
the worry has grown.
England is her land.
and stuck, here I stand.*

I wish to reach across the sea
and tell you how okay it will be.
To wrap my arms around you
and make the pain undo
you from its tight grasp

all day your on my mind
hoping for some refuge you'll find.
craving to alter the past
wondering the possible contrast.

I could've done more
to express that you are cared for.
to show your not alone.
If only i'd known.

Sasha.
you are beautiful
you are smart
you are silly 
you are playful
you are caring
you are adorable
you are honest
you are a sister to me
your laugh makes everyone smile
you are sensitive
yet you are strong
you are pure as an angel
yet wings tainted from pain**
you lift others up. 
no matter your down.

If my words cant reach,
then strain I beseech.
you aren't alone
we love you down to the bone.
And nothing can change that.

Sweet
Adorable
Sensitive
Honest
Affectionate

Even the stronest flower
must rest it's petals.
Just remember 
there is a time
for you to open again. 
Moonlight glistening off the dew
resting on your reborn arms.
nothing as beautiful as you can stay hidden forever.
so let us in,
let us warm you from the freeze,
let us help you streach you weary leaves.

Sasha,
We all care about you.
and we are all here for you.
you will never be alone in this,
all you must do is reach out,
and you will find arms waiting to catch you
from your fall. 


You are stong
You can do this.
I love you flower.
I love you Sasha.
