Close your eyes
Listen to the quiet
The silence
Learn to grow from fear
know that it exists here
in this space
don’t try to hide it away
we need to stop being shy
of letting ourselves cry
the healing that comes
from sitting with silence
Pulling vibrance from violence
My darling
I know it hurts
I feel the ache of it
The dull of it
The shame of it
I know you have no hands left to hold
And its cold
I know you miss the sun
Or at least the warmth
Of being loved
You reach a point
Of hating love
And I think that just means
You need it all the more
I am sure
You can still grow from this
Open your eyes
Your heart
And your mind
Be open to things more of the time
And you’ll find
You do not have to hold onto the pain
You can put it away
Save it for another day
If you use your ears
You’ll hear me calling your name
I want you to stay
there is exhaustion in your eyes
I see it in the way
your hands can barely lift mine
I know how it feels
to be tired all the time
But just maybe
the world
Will feel like something
You can still hold
If you just listen
Stop filling the quiet with chatter
And focus on things that matter
I know, my love
It is uncomfortable
And raw
But it is what we came here for
And I am waiting
To see your growth
to see your art
to see you open up that heart
I am waiting, my dear
for you to feel
how impossibly real
and human it is
to exist
in this earth
what a wonder it is
to be alive
in this space
And I know
you cannot be replaced
the invitation is here, my love
I suggest you take it
because we are going to make it
