It takes a thousand words to feel alive, and one to die.


And
she said,
"please come home,
save me from night"
long and hoping she wept through the year
as her soldier husband never returned.
She hoped and prayed
for it to
be a
lie.
Cries,
she screams
at her fate,
allegedly
bit her tongue, held her kids, suffocating.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
