Lay down,
Ignore the pain,
Close your eyes,
Imagine it again-
You aren't alone,
There's someone with you,
Don't be lonely,
I am here.
Curl up close,
Careful- it hurts,
I'll hold you tight,
but gentle enough that it won't hurt you.
Tight hugs,
tight enough for closeness; safety,
soft enough it doesn't squeeze,
Are you okay?
I breathe
I leave
I go to school,
Back to bed-
Back to sleep.
