when news that you get
isn't something that sings of peachy
breezes and perfumed love
you freeze in horror and
let the cold wash over you
i touched the surface of stilled water
but you refused to stir
even though the ripples
marred your face and
cut straight through your gaze
i cried for you
a wail inside my heart
growing strong like the wind
howling in a winter storm
but the snow
piled atop of you
and weighed you down
with a misery that shouldn't have been yours
helplessness like solid lead
along with trembling fingers
fluttering like
fragile hummingbirds
when i realise that you,
a pillar of support,
have become as vulnerable as them
not just for your sake
but for everyone else
please
be ok
