Castor
she stays
Poem and music are my words. Created for Castor K Pollux 🖤
She learned the shape of after
when the world broke mid-line
A crash rewrote the body
but not the fire inside
She walks in a new gravity
slow truth, open hands
Every step says quietly
I am still who I am
Pain tried to name her ending
but she chose another start
She lives
she loves
she stays
She builds a home from broken days
With a heart that bends, not breaks apart
She lives
she loves
she stays
Sixteen and a half years choosing
the same warm, faithful light
Her wife still says I see you
in the long and fragile nights
A house full of small souls breathing
two dogs, three cats, more come through
If you’re lost or left behind
there’s a place made safe for you
She knows what it is to be taken
and what it means to remain
She lives
she loves
she stays
She builds a home from broken days
With a heart that bends, not breaks apart
She lives
she loves
she stays
She reads like mercy listens
She writes so others know
That someone made it through the dark
And left a gentle glow
Not the woman she was before
But the woman who rose again
She lives
she loves
she stays
Turns survival into grace
With kindness built into her bones and name
She lives
she loves
she stays
She stays.
