Heavy Is The Heart.. Poem by Tabitha Nyssa DiNola DiNola

Eyes that once used to shine so full of hope and laughter, now glisten only with tears in the days after. Your were her protector her hero, now you have been demoted to zero. A life that should be so light and carefree now has become so heavy and tangled with debris. My beautiful girl with a heart so kind, now has become a prisoner in her own mind. She replays it again and again, over and over, it would be easier to pluck a four-leaf clover. Searching for the reason, the answer to her question of why, just makes the tears fall, they sparkle like stars in the sky. The sight of you, or the mere mention of your name, cause feelings she cannot tame. Her chest tightens and throat closes, when she thinks of you and her family, oh the dilemma that it poses. I hope you see this is not a fight to be won, what damage you have wrought cannot be undone
