our son

each other

of grieving
disconnected
us

forced unrealistic
expectations
upon ourselves

emotionally abandoned
unable to help
heal

I’m sorry
I let you down
when you needed
me
~
I’m learning
to forgive
myself

cocoon
catharsis in chrysalis
I’m doubting
my way
to salvation

Questions

beyond ourselves
beyond our courage
beyond possibility
