i burned these letters at one point
it doesn't take much
to embrace
to smile softly
to send a message
to let me know you're still there
it doesn't take anything
to stay with me
on a night when the world is screaming and i cant silence the noise
to shield me
on a morning when the weight of existence is crushing my shoulders
to whisper to me
on an evening when tendrils of youth long lost cling to me
like a child to its mother
it takes everything in me to not reach out
to hold you
and yet it takes everything in you to look at me
with eyes not clouded by that of the past.
