scientists have said
humans are the only
organisms able to
express their thoughts,
but i often find that
to be untrue.

if people could
directly communicate
their emotions and feelings
i would know what is
happening
between me
and you.

on the nights when it is hard to breathe
and hard to sleep, tell me,
how do you survive?

i want to hear the details,
to fall even for the broken pieces of you,
to help you put them back together
and know that soon,
you will sleep soundly every night
and never feel short of breath
so long as i am by your side.
