the risk of a relationship

something was about to happen

no one watching could know

may not be that bad

keep their eyes locked

her motion to dismiss

his vow not to be caught again

as soon as she drew a breath, he would.

recent warning:

you'll be burned.

learn to be safe

years we spent

now overflow into our writing

recognize

the pursuit of justice

you remain protected

understand the deeply felt emotions

you have to heal the sick

continual encouragement

graciously understand

we love you.

battle of memories

emotions are sealed

i could not speak my words

so to realize

what had happened in the past

talking

to the point where i could not continue

let me explain:

pain and then numbness

if you know me

you will see the evidence.
