For Mona
In your eyes
I see myself
My souls on fire
And you burn
Young girl do you see yourself?
Just as wild and unruly
As an undiscovered forest
A forest fostered by your tears of mourning
Your breathing steadies as you realize
What you see
Yourself sitting on a hill waiting for your
Next life to begin
Because you’ve given up on this one
You are breathtaking in your sadness
And I struggle to breathe to keep you
From madness
This life has only begun little one
Cherish it
As you cherish the sun
Shinning light on your gorgeous face
He watches you
And he is not replaced
In time you will heal
