Conclusions

There are levels of love
pain flowing through each one
when you consider the depth
the intensity is overwhelming

I cry when I think of the ones
who left their scalding indentations
I smile with immense satisfaction
realizing I survived them all

I have grown with every storm
as tears watered and rejuvenated
rooted in newfound knowledge
reaching for an endless sky

And all the levels of love
make perfect sense to me now
I’ll be holding onto the ones
who understand these words
