I found your heart in a dark dusty jar
You had to protect it so long, I’m sorry
You’re shaking again, you aren’t you without it
Let me help you put it back in
Fix it in place one little act at a time
Go slow, breathe deep
There’s no opiate for this reunion
Have the tea, focus on the steeping leaves
You are going to feel everything
Yes, it hurts, let it happen
This is what it means to be human
I’ll hold you, tell me what you need
I’ll be here
