I have to accept this
Loss
And powerlessness
Life is handing it to me
For reasons
I am forced to also accept
Maybe that
I asked for this
Maybe that
My dreams foresaw this
That rattlesnake under the pillow
Sleeping
Amidst a house full of rats
Abandoned
Like hope
In a place
Like hell...
She is not like me
Nor will
She ever be
Acceptance,
Made pretty
Well,
I understand loss
And what to abandon
Exactly..
When the bully card won't work
And the angry words don't hurt
Count blessings
Rebreathe faith
Don't bother with the why
Know that some things matter more
Like communion, and the doors
To a future yet unseen
With beauty, love, and..
Washed clean
She
Is not my angel
But more importantly
Nor is she my devil
I can release her
Free
Unlinked to anything
That is truly
Me
Pure
heartfelt
And
Worthy
