Okay?

We sit together in silence; my heart aching.

Silently screaming, you don’t have to be afraid;

I’m here to stay. Anxiety eats away at the beautiful

parts of you and me but what if we stop it now?

What if we just say everything will be okay.

What if you just talk to me; words releasing

all the pain that causes all that breaking?

What if we whisper in this darkness,

pretend we’re using a telephone;

wires connected from my heart

to yours? Could we be okay?
