shh.

i know you're scared.
i know you're hoping for a fast solution to whatever is making your soul quake like it hasn't in a long time.
the words, "it'll be okay" can't reach you now.

the words letting you know that I'm here,
watching you,
protecting you.
they're too far and few.

shh.
it really will be okay.

please stop and hear those words.
i love you and will make sure you're okay.

just sit, breathe and sleep in my embrace.
i'll chase it all away,
'til you're ready for another day.
