When a policeman comes to your door {make it two} When two policemen come to your door Rigid black hats tucked under their arms Do not answer Leave it be There is nothing for you there What they have to say is not for your ears When two policemen come to your door
When you call the policemen to do a wellness check and you’re standing at your daughter’s unanswered door, and they’re explaining to you in hushed tones how they’re going to grab her and sit her down so she doesn’t do anything rash once the super arrives with the key, and you know deep in your bones that that’s not what’s going to happen but you play along with the charade in supreme denial, nodding your understanding, and then they go in into …. Silence…..
It’s hell on earth.
There aren’t enough hugs or flowers on earth to send you, Tara. Just the love from my own broken heart. 💔♥️

Oh, Tara. ❤️ I will never understand how our hearts and lungs can keep working after the death of a child.
Horror of horrors. Incomprehensible devastation. Bitterest tears.
Word to rend any human heart - I'm so sorry Tara.
You have hewn beauty from heartbreak. Thank you for sharing it.
