Sing me a lullaby.
Even though it’s morning time.
Distract me from the noise.
The buzzing of the air ventilation.
Give me peace.
Love me and tell me you’ll be with me through all of this horror.
Always find a way like I will too to make it through everything.
Just to see each other.
Wake up with me in peace.
Start the day slow.
Let’s have a good day again, once more.
Allow me to go if days are too painful, nights uncomfortable.
My nervous system isn’t calm.
Never.
Working overtime.
I’m not resting well.
Shaking.
Cramped.
I’m sitting against the door for hours.
Don’t leave me in agony.
Like I used to be left before.
Throughout my life so I’m exhausted, badly wired, in knots, curled up.
Not strong sometimes.
Lay me down.
Don’t let me down.
Let’s close our eyes and pretend we’re in a better place.
And for now that’s just enough.
