Be Still

Take a breath Inhale slowly you are here Fear has left the building With its weapons and large hands No need for apologies here It is calm The climax has passed You were not broken all you had to say was hi To the serial killer who is gone now disappeared in the air Be still The months turn to years But here there will be no demolishing Your arteries can still pump blood your Heart is not broken never will be Only palpitations You will not die here You will only stop surviving The end of the story will be a prequel Take a breath one more two more three more Until you can feel your hands again Underestimate the feeling of leaving Impermanence will be your friend again You will leave notes on the side of the car Again saying I meant it and I'm sorry Until your eyes close forever You will let them leak And the morning you can't feel the pain Like it did before It will be better Your heart is not broken Unless it Stops
