You can call,
You can write; eventually everything will be alright
It’s safe harbor in a storm
Sometimes an ear to hear reminds you, you’re not alone

what works is words, it’s true
silence is uncertain
sounds still whistles through
wind down your atavistic galore
whilst sharpening the blade
an axe to grind so mighty
weighs heavily again
excuses only matter
when you’re ready for the end
all the words unspoken
they’ll never hear again
a noose is nothing more
than thirteen turns of phrase
children often wonder
when it’s happening again
silly then these string of pearls
cast down among the swine
bloody mess made by mary
a decision by design
sit silently and sip your tea
take the moment in
upon your contemplation
the answers are within
when you’re at the ready
you’ll finally make the call
if only then to realize
help is there after all
