Maggie says
by Omi SalaveaMaggie says,
Forever doesn't happen overnight,
and talk of rubberband theories,
sharing of life stories.
relation and consuling, making sense of things.
Though its hard to reason, past tears and heavy breathing.
With every truth escaping her lips,
the hurt whelms up inside.
But i guess this is how you build a stronger person,
In the comfort and kindess of people in this world.
And though the tears have lessened, just slightly,
walking through her door last night,
a frightened little soldier on the battlefield of this life.
Though I'm not warring for peace, fortune, or my life,
To protect my heart, I'll fight the best i can.
