Be brave, my heart
Be still.
Our agony is ending
Long overdue.
I saw you crumble into pieces
Your shattered home.
You felt heavy in my chest when we were leaving
Like you wanted to stay.
Like your weight belonged there,
your essence.
I didn't take you away.
I didn't dispatch you from your heritage,
your family's land.
Blame the war for that,
my heart.
