It was a bitter cry, the right hand rushed to it, and the left hand followed it in fragility and weakness, a cry that refused to stop, and sighs released by a whole body defending what had happened to it. Ah… the weight of emotion when words collapse, when sorrow and regret flood in — and all that remains are tears, heavy with all we’ve carried for far too long.
