It is in these actions

when my mind

makes me realize

maybe a place

called heaven can exist

 

Lips

breathe the breath of life

save me

from drowning 

in an abyss 

of depression.

 

Touch

keeps me from

slipping 

off this cliff

of fear

and pain

as the sun fades

day after day

 

Warmth

protects my mind

from going numb

loosing

my feelings 

of happiness

that arise

at times

 

Words

keep my heart

beating

as they tell me

they will stay

on my worst days

whispering

little lovelies

in my ear

 

Hugs

protect me

temporarily

as darkness reigns

scaring my poor

scared brain

 

Put them together

and you will see

I will get better

-Trust me.
