speak to me

by. rsy

your words bypass constructed paths

the skin on my arms tingles as i feel them settle in

nestling where they shouldn’t be but unbelievably fit in

they cast a net around my mind’s rough edges,

reveal truth in stark contrast with lies i’d ingested

my shoulders gravitate towards the ground

as tension melts and alleviates,

frayed nerves are coaxed into content

your words, though few, speak to me

they say

i may not be your peace

but i can be your comfort

i may not be the answer

but i can be a key

i may not always be there

but i can be here

hope with me

have serenity

let your heart feel

as need be
