gentle breeze

by khadjahelaine

Gentle breeze, just floating by

Trying to understand why everyone says goodbye

Why no one stays to share a meal

Or recount memories of the past

Why it always hurts to love again

To face uncertain lovers’ hands

Longing to be wrapped in warmth

And kept steady by a beating heart

Bum bum, bum bum

“You are safe”

“You are worthy of love”

She tells herself as her pillow transforms into a cloud

As her broken pieces rain down on a stormy night

If only the shards of her heart could fit with another’s

To comfort her on the darkest nights

To weep for her when it’s hard to feel

Instead, she’s left to wander

To wonder

To blow like a gentle breeze in the wind
