She's Not Falling Apart

He's gone, but she’s not falling apart.

He’s not around anymore.

She can’t run to him with her tears.

She can’t fall on him with her fears.

But she’s not falling apart.

Every night she cries herself to sleep.

Every day her baby girl sees.

She knows that mommy is sad.

But she’s not falling apart.

Why is this so hard?

Why did he have to go?

Nobody knows….

She thinks that nobody knows.

She thinks we do not see.

She thinks we believe that

she is not falling apart…

But that’s a lie.
