When the world quakes beneath me
I return to home
Which I have come to realize
was encompassed in you.
A representation -
of days, years, places, tragedies….
of forgiveness, friendship, love….
So much weight I made you bear
that you never were just you.
What I am learning is, I only selfishly saw a reflection.
Now I understand more, the tether of my heart to such.
