when your light is dim
and your pieces are scattered all over the floor
when it hurts to move
and your bones cry out
and your tired fingers search for who you were
but you cannot see
and you can't put yourself back together
when your eyes ache
when your heart lies like dead weight in your chest
putting pressure on your ribs
and testing the strength of their cage
when you have lost your life
i will hold you until you come up for air
and then hold you longer
and longer still
i will kiss your lips
your forehead
your face
and i will nourish your soul
i will fill you
with faith
i will reseed your spirit
with hope
i will love you
back
to health
one breath
at a time.
