| This too, will pass My tears salty on my tongue My eyes stinging in my face My sob mourning in my throat This too, will pass. The teddy crunched in my arms The paper clenched in my fist The bite in my jaws This too, will pass. My words hesitating to leave my lips My fingers hesitating to touch emotion My mind hesitating to open This too, will pass. My heart unwilling to leave my body My body unwilling to obey my soul My head unwilling to listen at all This too, will pass. This too, will pass. |
