They say the pain lessens
Sarah knows better
She writes
and rewrites the letter
A piece of paper no one will receive
a note too soon forgotten
just the same
so was she
Crumpled paper
thrown in the trash
tissues pile on
Nothing’s the same
Now that her friend is gone
Regrets and reflection
From so long ago
on Sarah’s face
they show
Sarah be brave
they can’t know
They say the pain lessons
but Sarah knows better
she rests her head
as the room gets wetter
