stay with me

This is not the end for me

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me

I see vast oceans reflecting back

Coiled in delicate pools

Spilling

Spilling over

I am crying

I cannot breathe

Stay with me

Shake these chains off

Try

Please

Hold me to this earth

Please

Stay with me

So much pain

The flames are devouring my skin my

Very being

I am gasping for breath but

My lungs are left withering, exposed

Choking

Stay with me

Don’t open up that box

Stay with me

Please God

Please

My finger grazes the back of my throat

No no no no no no

Please

My eyes look lighter

More intense

So much depth in such a small amount of

Space

As if I moved my soul and poured it into my vision

Is it leaking through my hands now?

There we go.

Breathe.

Steady.

In

 

Out.

 

Do not fade back into the past

Do not give up.

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me

You feel helpless.

You feel hopeless.

And now your throat is tightening up again

Be fearless.

Be flexible.

Be strong.
