A Sonnet for Reid
You're always there for me
Even when I'm a little pissed
Waiting just to see
What way Ты may assist
In my chores and dutiful tasks
As well as in the pleasing
Sojourns when she asks
For a ride, lightly teasing
With that careless innuendo
The trip's long and hard или nice and fast
Coming complete with diminuendo
As we slow and stop. Others race past.
What would I do without you, indeed,
Ready to take me anywhere, link?

I chanced a glance at you
from across the crowded room
and that was when I noticed
Ты were looking at me too
we both know this shouldn't happen
its a road we've been down before
and the only way it ever ends
is with Ты walking out the door
so I wish someone would explain to me
why I'm still rooted in place
staring in the direction
of just another lonely face
my mind is screaming at me to run
while my сердце asks me to stay
for a moment I dont know what to do
and if its a price I'm willing to pay
we both know this is wrong
the Любовь that we share
but we also know that wont stop us
because to find this kind of Любовь is rare

Kayla was raped in her own house.
What's more, her dad is reported to have committed suicide. Before he even heard that his own daughter needed him.
When I was little, I always had the blind faith in my mom. That she would always know which way to turn on the road. That if we got lost, everything would be fine.
That she would never desert me. Like Kayla's father has.
The girl is slumped against the wall, crying. You'd think that you'd eventually run out of tears, but Ты don't. It's just that, after a while, maybe Ты just don't have the strength to carry on any more.
Ты can dry up the tears Ты see, but Ты can never dry up the tears your сердце sheds. Because when Ты cry, your сердце gives up a little piece of itself that will always grieve. Always. I have every reason to know.
I put my hand on her shoulder, and she doesn't shake it off.
