Reflection
There are moments when love finds itself standing inside another’s storm — wanting to help, wanting to stay, yet feeling the toll of carrying what was never ours to hold.
This poem speaks for anyone who has loved deeply while learning the difference between compassion and self-erasure. It honors the ache of staying present without becoming lost, of offering light without demanding transformation.
Trapped is not a judgment.
It is a witness.
It reminds us that healing cannot be forced, and that love does not require absorption of another’s pain. Sometimes the most faithful act is to remain rooted in our own wholeness, trusting that each soul must find its way to the light from within.
This is a psalm for those who love with open hands — and are learning to breathe freely again.
