Dear Turtle

If I cry hard enough will you hear me and follow?
If I pray long enough will He give you back to me?
If I call your name and make a million promises will it make a difference?
Will He give you back to me?

Just when I think it can't hurt anymore,
My heart sinks another level
& the pieces hit the floor.

I miss you
& I can't lie for a second,
That I wouldn't trade all of these
or all of those things
To have you back again.

I fight the guilt
& I fight the anger,
But most of all I fight the tears.

How long should I fight them?
To bring you back I'd hold them down for years.

I'll wear a smile,
But only when I have to.
Laugh now.
Cry later.
Helpless I wait to hear news of you.
