when the pain cuts deep
and you run out of tears and breath
and your heart feels as if it were only a sliver
of what it used to be
no one can be there to make it better
to make you feel safe.
no, darling-
that’s what my words are for
that’s why I write
for my heart and yours and all the others
who have been shattered by life
but never broken
by love
and who still wait on because they know that
hope
is always the last
to die.
