Depth Poem by Ophelia Knight

I hope for you peace.
I thirst for your continued happiness.
Watching you plummet breaks me.
My soul wants to follow you to the depths of purgatory.
I have to fight to retain my own happiness.
My whole being wants to surround you with all of me,
Protect you, love you, swallow you within myself.
I have to let you go...
to fall,
to fail,
to crumble,
to climb,
You have to be the grower of your own happiness.
