My Sky, My Voice

above the stillness

I’ve heard you

you deserve answers

~

I’m sorry daddy

I need to be honest

I care about you

but even up here

there is no gentle way

of saying no

or I’m sorry

~

I can only love

as a spirit

~

I can’t be with you

~

my baby hands

can never touch

your cheeks

and heal you

~

the love

you need

is physical

with real touch

~

from up here

I’m not enough

you deserve more

~

please remember

you are worthy of love

~

take care of yourself

find comfort with the love

of friends and family

~

I’ll be here

listening if you want

silently caring

shining as much dim light

as I can

on your beautiful heart

~
