C'mon, Sweetheart
Close your eyes
Get really cozy
Grab that fuzzy blanket
Maybe pet a dog
This part is important, now,
Breathe in, nice and slow
No rush, no hurry, no goal
Just breathe
And let it out
Gently
Good girl :)

Now, have you eaten?
I know you forget
Or just refuse
Regardless,
Let's get you something
Some water as well
Perhaps tea?
No more coffee, ***
Not this late at least

You're doing so well
Now, how about a shower?
Use your favorite soaps
So your skin is left scented
Clean and floral

Bedtime, Lovely
Alright?
Comfy pjs tonight
Light a candle for a bit
Put on some music
Just be.
It's really alright
You don't have to sleep
Not right away
Just take care of yourself, okay?
I'm here with you
We can do this.
We're going to be alright.

Betrayal, like burnt caramel, lies bitter on the tongue,
Sticks stubbornly to the *** in which it was brewed;
Charred fragments of evaporated sweetness,
Tear softly at kisses I should know better than to encourage;
My mouth gritty with the sediment of discarded loyalty.

grab my hair
and touch my skin
breathe my air
and let me in
whisper softly in my ear
that I have nothing left to fear
cause time has left
and so has place
just you and me
floating through space
