Call

After you hang up our calls

I’m scared to lose you

I’m scared you’ll leave

Your smile is my oxygen

and when you cry I suddenly can’t breathe

I want to feel your breath on mine

and hold you closer still

please stay with me

until we’re both frail and ill

I’ll be your blanket

to protect you from the dark

so please don’t push me off

when you’re reminded of your scars

I will tell you everyday

three words

that mend our wounds

I love you

I’ll call you back soon.
