Be Still

Be still my heart,

for thou art heavy

and there remains

a distance I must carry you

The journey is long

and filled with uncertainty

Yet still I must persist

Your weight will grow

and you will break me

Over and Over

Yet still I must persist

By the end

we may both be so changed

as to never recognize one another again;

torn to pieces and remade 

countless times

And yet

We must persist
