The dampness on my shoulder
Comes from the crying girl in my arms
She holds desperately onto me
Not wanting to let go
Her tears roll down her cheeks
As she wants to tell me
Of the terror she has suffered
But she cannot form the words
Only water can form
She stays there for hours
With only her sobs
As a way of expressing herself
She lets go
And vanishes inside me
She only escaped me for
A few hours
But a few hours
Is all she needs
It will be years before
She appears again
