it only takes a page
for everything to break
for my composure to collapse
for the grief i pushed aside
to pull me in like a wave
it only takes five words from her hand
to bring me to my knees
and the loudest cry escapes my lips
a cry that hurts in your chest
there is nothing else to hide my wailing
as your words stretch off the page
and i wrap myself in the safety that is you
your scent cocoons me
as these words bleed under my skin
heaven didn't just take you
but a piece of me too
