Letting Go
Is it even a relationship when one person does all the work?
I held the kite alone this whole time,
even as the winds tried to snatch
this away. My hands are cut
up from holding on and
you did nothing. So
I'm letting go.
I can now
start to
heal.

Winterthorne
Winterthorne stood alone at the edge of the park. The beautiful snow that had surrounded him was all trampled now, from the feet of all of the children who had built him. He missed the sparkly clean snow blanket, but he was happy that so many children had come out to make him.
