heartbeat

i feel out of reality

i need someone to just touch me and tell me that everything is going to be okay

so can i hear your heartbeat?

can you whisper something sweet?

a melody to remind me i’m going to be okay

let’s try a grounding technique

something my therapist taught me

it makes me wanna laugh or cry

i don’t know which i’m just traumatized

so until i’m back on my feet

can i just hear your heartbeat?
