closure

and just like that..........a moment shared was severed

She thinks he has let her go.....

But he hasn't, because he never held her in place.

He Never stopped her doing what she wanted, or stopped her selling herself. For his generosity, he never expected anything more than a thankyou, quietly spoken, between themselves.

Never is a word that resonates in his mind and he decides....

He wll NEVER respond to her again

He will NEVER tell her he loves her again

He will NEVER be there to pick her up after she falls

He wilL NEVER be there to save her from homelessness

He will NEVER provide for her

He will NEVER be there to help her when supposedly loyal people are false

When she is crying, begging, screaming, destitute, troubled, scared, suffering, in need of safety. or just, in need of a genuine friend that truly loves her

He will NEVER listen

He will NEVER respond

He will NEVER allow her back into his life

the garden was empty
