when you are not.



when you are absurdly 

non-judgmental and 

the space 

you hold is sacred 

and true and vast 


when you are an open 

wound the size of 

a glacier before 

years of heat  

and you still try

without hesitation 


when you have hands 

of magic and know 

where pain lurks

to softly grant her 

the grace to escape


when you are scared 

and do it anyway

give everything they ever

wanted and still 

you are not her
