when your fears are not safe in other ears
the sadness is yours and can’t be shared
and it builds and stacks and pools
and spills over
but tears are salt in the wounds
and do not close the cuts
.
go deep into that hollow
where hope hangs on
wrap yourself in it and stand
against what pains and disappoints
the antidote for hurt
may seal the cuts
