I Cry For Her

The tears stream

Silently

A breaking open

Inside.

Why do you cry

I ask?

I cry for her

She is sweet sixteen

Today,

And then no more.

She knows

Something changed

Inside

It’s unknown

She doesn’t think

It was the

Right choice

But she doesn’t know

How to

Correct it.

She fears

What this means

About her.

About life.

Where does she go

From here

Am I whole?

Am I tainted?

Our hearts break

Together.

Hers and mine.

We are the same.
