Soft
Tender
Imagined
Soon

The words float in my mind
Drift across my heart

Soon
I’m going to feel you
And I know it won’t be a dream
Because you’ll feel it too

I’m waiting
But impatiently

What do I have to do
To make things like before
Brighten our worlds without a second thought
I’ll do it

It seems yesterdays nap backfired
I want to sleep-even for three hours
But I can’t stop thinking about you
The more I think, the safer I feel

I’m not hiding
Not from you
Everyone else can guess
They won’t catch on

And we’ll keep moving as one
Every step of the way way
I’m not in it to survive
I’m here to lend you my hand-eternally

I don’t want to lose this again
I don’t want to lose her again
So why do I feel myself pulling away
Why am I hurting both of us

I know the risk
I’d still give anything to stay
Please let me fix my mistakes
I’m just going a little crazy

Every breath weighs me down
I feel bruised with every thought
Yet your name still rises
Like a flame in my chest

Every part of me is cracking
I’m leaving a trail of emptiness
But you return the emptiness
Filled with care and affection

Every road steals energy from me
Like a promise never broken
Except you’re still here
And that’s all that matters

I’m doing my best
It’s taking everything out of me
And with scraps left to offer
You still support me

Missed my meds today
Stuck with Stacey in the car
Not sure if my anxiety-
Or the way she makes me feel like ****-
Will **** me first

You worry
And worry
And even worry

About others
About not making trouble
Avoiding any collisions
Even the ones some people deserve

I see a person who cares
Not a scared girl
There’s confidence in every step you take
Even when you lose your footing

So keep your chin up girl
Afterall, we’re a team again
Gonna fight anything that comes at us
One count at a time
