Once I asked someone
To tell me a story.
They said two words;
She died.
I almost
Burst out crying.
But I didn't.
You see,
My aunt had died that day.
Cancer.
I cried all that night,
And the next,
And the next.
I have cried every night
Since.
Stories,
Are more
Than just stories.
They have meaning.
Be careful
What story you
Tell.
