lead with your heart

Nurture

She said

Took her hand

Anointed me with tears

Fear struck my heart

Do you wish for this pain

It's recognizable

Comfortable with the familiar

I stood rigid

Body locked

Hands clasped

Annointed with salt

Nurture, she whispered

Standing above me

Over me

My eyes cursed to be forever open

Her hands on my shoulders

Pulling them back

Lead with your heart
