Someone who understood
How frightened she was
Someone to listen in
While holding her hand
To hear all the things
She cannot say in words
She just needed someone close
Who also could be present
Just for her
Because right now she is not capable
Of being there for the Self
She lost the way to
She just needed
For all of that pain
All of those regrets
That daily trouble her
To disappear
She just needed
To understand how to
Care for
Live with
Love and support herself
But somehow
Sadly
She could not
Give herself
What she needed
Most
