Soul Knife

Soul Knife Poem

Your tears cut me.

Please take my hands.

I will hold them

Until all is well.

And never will I use them

To hurt you.

    Wow! such a great little poem. I bet writing is helping you find something to do during these times. I may have to start thinking about poetry myself.

      Writing really has been a great help to stay productive. I love poetry because it is short and sweet and simple, and hope you enjoy crafting poems if you take it up!

    Powerful, my partner lost her sister last year, and I’ve found it very difficult trying to help her through it. This really struck a chord.
