Wake

Take care of this heart

Be tender with your self

There is a time that comes

When you must kneel

And kiss the broken places

Acknowledging the truth

That they wished you forget

Or turn deaf dumb and blind to

Do not turn away

From the heart in you

Trapping yourself deep inside

The negative feedback loop inside your mind

Remember to live in this body

Even when it hurts

Because my darling

It longs for you

Just as much as

A parched desert

Longs for rain

Do not distain

The silent tenderness that brings

Healing in its wake

Please my love I beg of you

Do not

Forsake your self
