Today

I thought of you

in all its wonderous glory

I think of you often

believe it or not

sometimes, I shed a tear

as I sit in silence

for you were my peace

my saving grace

until our trauma bolds

replaced our peaceful place

I wish you no harm

& pray that you’re saved

I will Not apologize to the woman that gave you life

she cut my heart

deeper than any knife

one day you’ll stand up

& reclaim your life

from those that bind you

in a sick toxic plyth

where you will feel no fear

I was considered an angel once

breathing healthy air

into your lungs

now look how far

we’ve drifted apart

so until the day

I see your face

hold onto the knowledge

you’re still loved

in a most sacred place

full of pure love
