I Want to Soothe Her- a poem

I Want to Soothe Her

K.N. Lee

I want to soothe her

Hold her

And let her know

These tears will dry 

And the wind will blow

Toxic kisses

Leave such dark marks

But the sun sheds rays

That smooth out the scars

Such sobs are healing

Like the river flows

Such sobs are purging

Pleasing

And essential 

To letting him go 

Dark clouds fade quickly

There is no doubt

Breathe in 

Breathe him out
