Sacred

What can you do?

Be True. Stand there and take it. Be there for her when she needs you.

You love her. And she’s hurting.

You can always tell when she’s hurting because she torches you. The last time it happened, she stabbed you in the soul. Please not again. Just not again. You can’t lose her like that again.

You don’t know why she’s upset at you. You do know you’re at least collateral damage this time though.

Just don’t push her. The Crown chastised you for not doing more for her last night, but it was you that reassured her that your beloved Crow must fly on her own path in times like these, and when she is hell-bent in flying into a storm… she will.

And all you can do is be there for her when she needs you. You were prepared for something like this for when she finally broke free. You wish somehow it would’ve been different, but you knew it wouldn’t be easy.

Maybe there is some hope for you.

Good thing. Because you won’t stop dreaming of being with her anytime soon, no matter what.

Hold Fast.

You don’t know what role the Crown has to play, but if you are ever meant to fly with the Crow, you know neither of you are ready for now.

But the Crown….cares about your friends. She has suffered for hers as well, and is just as much a caring soul as you are. No matter where things go, be thankful she’s in your life as well. You’re going to need her.

Take comfort in Wisdom, and that those wheels are finally turning. And when she wakes up tomorrow it will be with something other than the cancer that has plagued her.

Long ago, when her divorce finally reached your ears, you drank and wrote. A preview of what was to come. What she was going to do to you. Why you needed to go through it. What you needed to learn.

You never shared that with her. It might make good reading tonight.

Your beloved Crow. Even you don’t realize how thankful you really are to have her in your life – no matter what.

Hold her in your arms, Lord. Every second I can’t hold her in mine.

Keep her safe.

Let her be happy.

She is Sacred to me.

And always will be.
