a loss by Emily Davidsonwhen it is
for the greater good
when it is
the right thing and
the best solution
there is no place
for an objection
there is nothing for him here;
i've watched this place
weigh him down
i've watched each day
dissolve him
so he will go
and gain something more
but for me
it is a loss 11/20/2008 Posted on 11/21/2008 Copyright © 2024 Emily Davidson
