Hush my dear one
Like the sound of wind caressing green leaves.
You cannot lead through violence,
Threats
Anger.
You cannot force your will upon me.
I refuse and grow rigid, defiant
and we both lose.
Hush my dear one
Like the sound of wind caressing green leaves
I will comfort you.
Your words cut like knives through me, my own
self-inflicted pain
Seep slowly through fibers of flesh and spirit
Slow poison.
Hush my dear one
Like the sound of wind caressing green leaves.
Hush
I will hold you
You are loved
You are loved.
