“Explanations”
By Ashley O’Hare
I’ll explain everything eventually-
why I continued fighting,
how I kept loving,
when I discovered how to detect honesty.
One day,
you will know all I learned.
I can’t tell you now–
it’s premature.
The story is incomplete;
there is more I must endure.
It would be useless
to detail pain
until hope
shows its face.
You will know everything
the moment I do.
