I ask you not to pity me--
that's not what I want--
it makes me feel worse.
Simply acknowledge how I feel,
hold me close,
and say nothing.
There are no words that can heal me,
nothing anyone says will make a difference--
just shut up already.
But not you, dear one.
I ask you to whisper sweet words in my ear,
make me feel safe.
This bad day will pass, but until then,
just hold me.
No, I do not know why I feel this way--
if I did, would it change anything?
Hush, now.
Stay silent 'til the storm inside me subsides,
then kiss me until I forget the pain.
Please, dear one,
just hold me.
