Poem: For Brooke

[ladychi]

She says:
I can't hear the music anymore
All this shouting has drowned it out
And there's nowhere for me to hide anymore
All the places I go have locked me out.

And I say:
Breathe.
And know I am helpless
And can't stop the pain.
But my heart bleeds, because hers does.

Oh; how poignant.

I want to hug both of you.

Gorgeous.

That's beautiful, evocative in a very few words. I especially love your opening line.
