don’t ask me why I am wearing

the weight of the world today.

just give me a hug.

don’t ask me if anything has happened.

just sit with me for a moment

and listen to the words

spilling from my lips.

and for the love of god,

do not try to change it or fix it,

for this pain is precious

and it is the fertilizer from which

my love flows.

so please just be with me, here,

for another moment,

and a million moments more.
