Oh my darling.
My beautiful, tearing-at-the-seams darling.
You're still breathing.
You still have every shaking gasping breath,
Willing you to stay alive.
You don't have to choke.
These tears making a salty ocean on your face,
Just lie back.
Don't fight it.
You won't drown this way.
The rivers and streams of precious blood
Pumping through your body
Pumping liquid hope,
Every pint of your blood can save three people.
You are a walking miracle,
A crawling savior,
Don't let the blood leak from your wrists tonight.
Take a deep breath
Even if it trembles.
Find reasons to live.
Reasons to love yourself.
Even if you hate
Every single ******* pore in your body right now.
You are allowed to be a no-show
At the holding-it-together parade.
Fall apart tonight
And get stitched back up.
I'm praying that the stitches
Will be holding together your hope,
Not your wrists.

Baby,
We have been apart longer
Than we have been together.
Mastered the distance,
We know what it's worth.
But baby,
I think we forgot
How to be together again.
Having you stand next to me
Was so surreal
I was at a loss for words.
We got it back though baby,
As soon as I sat down
With your arms perfectly around me
My world healed itself again.
No need for small talk
Just your sweet kisses
And our breathing in synch.
We can do this baby.
I know we can.
Just a few more months.

It's easier when my teardrops
Wash down the shower drain.
