'Closure'

**********************************************

Paint me over with the sorrows you sleep with.
Let the tangled sheets of your tearful dreams
Collapse in the waiting arms of a friend.
If words can console, carrying the weight of your heart,
Or if their gravitational pull is a heavier burden,
Release them in time.

Insistence and denial have lived here too long,
In a mind consumed by irrational thoughts.
Some things are simple: one-layered Truths to
Accept at face value.
To learn from and live with, and release once more...
She was teaching you how to let go.
