Broken pieces
Broken hearts
Demolished homes
Intangible scars

A non-essential necessity
Ripped away from you by a friend
She means well, but it hurts deep inside
I don’t know how it will end

Laughter and life
Are but a whisper of the past
The girl you wish to hold
And secrets of clouded glass

The life you used to know
Now a far gone dream
You must adjust, but you can’t let go
Alone, it’s a challenge to swim upstream
The title doesn’t make sense until you read the last line.

Inspired by the book “Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter To The World” by Ashley Herring Blake.
