I lay awake at night listening
to you crying
your tears stained the floor
traces of hair and blood often found
You whispered to me
through the forest
We shared a moment once
Now I let you go
The suffering is too much
Your suffering
was my suffering
Your death
will heal us both
I scatter your ashes
amidst the stream you loved
now forever a part of it
washed away along with your pain
and mine
to you crying
your tears stained the floor
traces of hair and blood often found
You whispered to me
through the forest
We shared a moment once
Now I let you go
The suffering is too much
Your suffering
was my suffering
Your death
will heal us both
I scatter your ashes
amidst the stream you loved
now forever a part of it
washed away along with your pain
and mine
