by Nanette Bellman

if i could say anything to you,
i'd ask to speak to her
because you've felt this need to shelter her from me

and if she doesn't get it,
i'll slap her in the face.
    "get out while you still can..."

Unfortunately we can't protect everyone from every thing. But it's nice to try.

I'd say there's honor in making the effort at all. Beautiful.
