a gift

my heart
wants to envelop everyone affected by the
sudden onslaught of tragedy around me
and release every last one of you
free of
this
pain

if only..

absence leaves scars.

and each time you see the marks left on your heart

you will
remember to
always
give,
show,
all your love
to those you love
just because

you can

because you remember how much
you wish you could
give,
show,
all your love to
those
you can't

there is a gift
in the sadness
and this is it

love...
