“I don’t know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love”
~ While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles

How can there only be
a few pages left
she thought
thinking back to how many poems
short stories
lyrics
hopes & frustrations
dreams & seeds for the future
she just has to remember
to give them proper care
the space they need
to stretch and grow
to spread their fingers
and reach out to others
to love others
someday
the way she wishes
she could love herself.
