aftermath

just talk to me
until the shaking stops
when I'm a little less cold
& feel more
just
give me a few minutes
and it'll be better

see, i know it's ok
and I know it's better
but right now I can't not
shiver
right now it's cold
& i'm surrounded

and i just need
a moment
to hurt
and cry a little

you don't have to understand
i can't explain just yet

but please don't leave
just...
talk to me
and maybe this time

i can admit
i'm scared but
that's better

that'll make it
worth the shaky
