i can make you tea make you breakfast brush your hair kiss your forehead & tell you itβs all going to be
o
k
i can wrap my arms and legs around you and crush you with empathy let my tears drip down your forehead like anointing oil or holy water i can baptize you in a hundred things, i can burn you and create anew from the ashes in my arms
i can let you fill my bones with your tears my heart with your heartbreaks my lungs with your sobs my insides with your hurt
i can make you a thousand salves and a hundred tinctures to keep you from hurting but i canβt fix myself.
