    Revive


    My eyes were swollen shut.

    My mouth dry lips cracked.

    I struggled to breathe as my ribs

    broke and my lungs collapsed.

    Trying to find the strength to get

    up out of this disarray and chaos

    we created.

    We have been deteriorating for too

    long like road kill left in the sun.

    Beating you mentally, emotionally,

    physically.

    I tried to reach and revive you patch

    up your wounds and fix the damage.

    My mind was racing, my heart pumping

    but my body was dead and lifeless.

    I could feel the love seep out of your body

    like blood from your wounds.

    I wanted to revive you and restore your

    vitality but I had to heal first period and

    as I healed I saw that you needed to heal

    on your own.
