Just learning to hold our tongues,
we fall in order to rise.
"Shut up"
a simple phrase said when we're annoyed,
but what of it's consequences?
The last words he had ever heard after meowing so loudly.
"I love You"
a commonly used phrase by many,
but only unrequited love would follow.
So we hold our tongues,
not speaking our heart's longing so that they may mend,
"She'll finally understand me"
we wish for this,
but it will only come after death has parted us,
when her mind is healed.
A mistake made year, after year,
now atoned when a cancerous tissue appears.
"I don't mind that you'll never love me."
the discovery bringing change as we wish for her life.
"Please don't leave us"
a selfish person who is incapable of loving anyone but herself due to a mental illness,
yet we desire her praise,
her love,
death will open her eyes to our hearts,
making her whole again,
seeing us that she discarded,
life will allow her to remain with us.
